The 2025 Avoca HC Marathon Challenge is here!
Get ready to lace up your runners! Every Avoca Hockey Club senior player is challenged to run, jog or walk a full marathon (42km) over the 4 weeks leading up to the ‘Avoca-thon’ – The Avoca Marathon Challenge finale party – Saturday September 13th The Well.
That’s just 10.5km per week — a perfect way to boost your pre-season fitness and reconnect with your teammates!
Timeline
Starts: Saturday, August 16th
Ends: Saturday, September 13th (Finale party!)
All funds raised will go directly towards upgrading the lights on the pitch in Newpark – a project that will benefit the whole club for years to come.
Here’s how it works:
✅ Every player will receive a sponsorship card to track donations.
✅ Each team will have a unique QR code for online donations – making it easy for friends and family to support you.
✅ Team totals will be tracked, creating some friendly competition between teams to keep everyone motivated!
🎯 Target: €2,000 per team (let’s smash it together! 💪)
👉Let’s make it fun, stay active, and build momentum for the season ahead.
Track your distances, join our Strava group to show your progress, challenge your teammates, and let’s smash that 42km goal together!
