3rd Annual Pikeman Challenge Walk:
The Faythe Harriers will launch our 3rd Annual Pikeman Challenge on Friday next, 12th March 2010 in Wexford Credit Union at 7 pm. The event will consist of an 80-kilometre walk over 3 days over the weekend of Friday 4th June to Sunday 6th June. All those participating in the event, anyone with an interest in it, all club members and parents of all our underage members are invited to attend the event. The Pikeman Challenge has been a fantastic fundraiser for the past 2 years for the club and has helped us in no small way to develop the facilities that we now have in Parc Carman. The event has been a fantastic success for the past 2 years and this year, we are hoping to make it more successful than ever. Anyone who is interested in taking part in the full 3-day walk, or even to walk on one of the days is encouraged to attend the launch next Friday. Any queries regarding the event should be directed to Richard Murphy at 087-6680630.
