ChallengeHer Cycling Sportive is designed by women to encourage more females into this wonderful sport. We invite all genders to join us for the challenge of improving your fitness, having a sense of achievement and enjoying the reward of pizza and prosecco at the end.
This year our nominated charity is The Community First Responders (Armagh & Tyrone) These volunteers provide appropriate and effective CPR, defibrillation and first aid to casualties suffering immediate life-threatening conditions while waiting for The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service to arrive at the scene. In 2022 The First Responders volunteered at ChallengeHer and were an integral part of our team.
We would also invite you to visit https://communityfoundationni.org/funds/the-ann-mcgeeney-fund/ the woman who inspired this sportive.
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. She was devoted to her family, her career and her sports interests. In her ‘Peace and Reconciliation’ work, 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. During her final 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. She always relished a challenge.
