The Galway Mountain Rescue Team is calling on local adventurers, nature lovers, and night owls to step into the moonlight for a cause that saves lives.
On Saturday, October 11, the charity will host “Howl at the Moon” – a unique walking challenge set in Galway Wind Park.
The event will offer two atmospheric walking options: a 9km and a 17km route, both taking place under the stars.
Participants are encouraged to bring head torches, warm gear, and their loudest ‘howl’ as they join others for an unforgettable evening of fun.
“All funds raised will go directly to supporting our voluntary rescue services, helping us purchase essential gear, maintain operations, and ensure we can respond swiftly and safely when people need us most,” said Dermot Hughes, Team Member and Howl at the Moon Event Manager
Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or simply looking for a magical night-time adventure, Howl at the Moon promises a community celebration with a difference.
Don’t forget to pack your headtorch and hi-vis and fill your backpack with plenty of water and snacks for an unforgettable night under the moon.
The event will kick off at 6:15pm on the evening of Saturday, October 11, at Galway Wind Park.
The registration fee to take part is €35 for adults, €25 for Under 17s, or €50 for anyone registering on the night.
Anyone who wants to take part in this walk and raise money for a good cause can register at https://howlatthemoon.ie.
