42 Challenge

Back in October 2020, we launched the 42 Challenge in a bid to build a 400m tartan track in Craughwell to support Shauna and her dream of going to the Paralympic Games.
Today, we are proud to let you know that Shauna has been selected to represent Ireland at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games from the 28th of August to the 8th of September 2024!🥳
Thank you for your support!

Ciaran and Shauna turn the sod on our 400m track development!

Our construction is about to start this Monday and it was fitting that the sod-turning dignitaries were Ciaran Cannon and Shauna Bocquet at the weekend. Shauna and her dad Loic spear-headed a fund-raising campaign for the 400m track last Autumn raising over €49000 in the process for the track, with Ciaran contributing over €7000 of that in a charity cycle. Ciaran has also been instrumental in advising the club on many successful grant applications towards our facility development in the past few years.

There will be some disruption to the facilities available for use during construction and we will post updates on that here.

The construction to tarmacadem level will be done by local contractor Seamus Coleman / Coleman Plan & Civil Ltd and will start this Monday 17th May.

Many Thanks Gort Family Practice for your generosity & support.
