The Maamturks Challenge really is a special event run exclusively by volunteers from our student and alumni members of the NUIG Mountaineering Club and is run on a non-profit basis. We’ve been running this event for a long time – this year will be 42nd Maamturks Challenge – and we have developed a strong relationship with the local community in Connemara and with our participants who travel from far and wide every year to take part in our event.

Please take a few minutes to vote for the Maamturks Challenge, and please spread the word to other present or past participants.
