On Saturday 4th October Spinal injuries Ireland in association with Sandycove Kayak Club will be running the Blessington 500 Challange in Russeltown Park, Blessington, Co. Wicklow.
The event will start and finnish at Russeltown Park, Blessington and will run from 10am to 4pm.
The aim is to kayak a total of 500miles or more on the day. Last year over 100 people took part, with a final tally of 520miles.
This year, the challange will again give Spinal Injuries Irealnd the oppertunity to raise some funds by asking people to secure sponsorship. You can choose the distance you are most comfortable with, 4.6 or 10miles or more!
Last year Kerry, Jean and I paddled 6miles each, Jean even did it in her playboat! It was a great day, lovely and sunny (seriously) and i'd reccomend anyone to do it this year. It's on blessington lake so flat water and no pressure.
