Our Hell and Back Fundraiser:
Amazing effort from our 9 Trojans today who all completed the Hell & Back 10km outdoor trail on Sugar loaf mountain in Wicklow. With an early morning start at 7.30am. The Hell & Back Trojan is a 10km outdoor man- made terrain consisting of trail runs & mountain paths which our 10 Trojans have to progress over, under, around & through infamous Hell & Back obstacles including 2FM wall, Hell on Earth, Satans pit, Nightmare on Hell St & the Swamp & a treacherous trek up the Little Sugar Loaf Mountain in Bray Co. Wicklow. The Club congratulate all our Trojans Ann Mullins, Brendan Mullins, Sean Maher, Pat Halpin, Tony Quigley, Barry Toomey, Patrick Doyle, Owen Shaughnessy and Mark Phelan in making this Fundraising event a success. Many thanks to all who sold Sponsorship cards
