The Bluestack Challenge, Donegal’s signature hill walk and community fundraiser, is set to take place on Saturday, June 13.
The event promises another day of resilience, generosity, and local spirit. Since it began in 2002, the Challenge has grown into more than just a physical test. It has become a lifeline for vital services across the county.
Businesses across Donegal and beyond have rallied to support the event, helping to ensure that every step and every donation contributes directly to improving the lives of local residents.
Participants, sponsors and donors alike fuel initiatives that have a tangible impact in the community.

This year’s beneficiaries include organisations supporting cancer care, additional needs, mental health counselling and neurodegenerative conditions.
Funds raised will help strengthen essential services, allowing charities across the county to continue their critical work.
Sponsored by Blas@The Gateway Lodge, the Bluestack Challenge stands as a testament to the power of community.
Residents are encouraged to join in by walking, donating or sponsoring participants, and to take part in a celebration that honours both physical endurance and the spirit of giving.
