Sophia will host the first annual St. Kevin’s Way Challenge to follow the footsteps of St.Kevin through the hills of Wicklow to the haunting and mysterious valley of Glendaough. The event will commence from the Brockagh Resource Centre in Laragh on Sunday April 29th and participants have the option to partake in a professionally led
5km or 10 km challenge.
“St. Kevin’s Chllenge is an ideal event for us. As an organisation, we set out everyday to help people realise their full potential. There is hardly a better way to embody that then to take a walk to Glendalough. We also hope that the event will generate much needed funds from our organisation this year and in future years”, Said Sr. Jean Quinn, Joint Founder and CEO.
If you and your family and friends are interested in exploring one of Ireland’s most scenic and spiritual location with your friends and family while helping to raise funds for the homeless and vulnerable people.
We have a suggested donation of €30 per person and €50 per family.
