ChallengeHer Cycling Sportive is designed by women for women and supported by Square Wheels Cycling Club, Moy. We invite you to join us this year and use your pedal power to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity, Northern Ireland, who focuses on building hope locally and around the world. Their key themes are peace building, orphans and vulnerable children, the impacts of urbanisation, and disaster response and mitigation.
We would also invite you to visit The Ann McGeeney Charitable Trust Fund, the woman who inspired this sportive. Although ChallengeHer is primarily aimed at female cyclists, men are also most welcome. Register now for a fun day of exercise, achievement, camaraderie and reward. Your healthier lifestyle starts here.

Inspired by Ann McGeeney
Ann lived life to the full, being devoted to her family, her career and her sports interests. In her work ‘Peace and Reconciliation,’ she was passionate about bringing local communities together, particularly in the border areas where this Sportive is taking place.
She loved adventurous sports such as, mountaineering, rock climbing canoeing, running, swimming and triathlons. In recent years she enjoyed biking, particularly mountain-biking. Ann was very enthusiastic, promoting sport particularly to women and believed in the physical and mental benefits of exercise.
