Causeway Coastal Challenge
Friends of Africa’s 2025 annual fundraiser
Giant Steps Together with FOA
Join us this July for a full-day hiking challenge along the Causeway Coast – covering the distance of a marathon through some of Ireland’s most striking coastal scenery.
This challenge will help to raise vital funds for our projects in our partner countries South Africa and here in Ireland.
We have planned this challenge to be as accessible as possible, whilst a good level of physical fitness is required, there is plenty of time between now and July to get to the level required to complete and really enjoy this new challenge!
