Unique Walking Challenge Connects Tulsk and Lapland
The St. Mary’s Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) in Tulsk, Ireland, is launching an ambitious fundraising initiative. The club is encouraging the community to participate in a walking challenge aimed at covering the distance to Lapland. This event is not only a fundraiser but also a chance to strengthen community ties.
Details of the Unique Walking Challenge
The Tulsk community plans to walk a distance of 2,499 kilometers over a 24-hour period. The event will begin at 3 p.m. on St. Stephen’s Day and conclude at 3 p.m. on December 27th. Participants will collectively strive to complete a staggering 4,998 laps of their new pitch to achieve this goal.
A Community Effort
With hopes of being debt-free by 2026, the Tulsk LGFA aims to contribute to the final payment of their €700,000 development. This encourages local engagement as residents walk in preparation for the main event. Community members have embraced the challenge, walking together every Tuesday and Thursday night.
