David Carter will undertake the Ultra 300 Challenge from 4th-9th November 2024 which will see him run 50km every day - a total of 300km covered across routes in Kilkenny, Carlow, Kildare, Wexford, Waterford & Tipperary.

David is running this challenge in memory of his late father, Charlie Carter who passed away in 2010. The final day of running will take place on 9th November, on the date that would have been Charlie’s 75th birthday. The epic challenge will finish in his home village of Gowran, Co. Kilkenny alongside family and friends.

His aim is to raise €60,000 vital funds for 3 local & national organisations that are close to his heart:

1: Dillon Quirke Foundation

The Dillon Quirke Foundation works to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) and fund widespread cardiac screening for young people (aged 12-18) involved in sport. www.dillonquirkefoundation.com

2: The Alzheimer Society of Ireland

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland works across the country in the heart of local communities, providing dementia-specific services and supports and advocating for the rights and needs of all people living with dementia and their carers. www.alzheimer.ie

3: Young Irelands GAA & Camogie Club, Kilkenny

David’s local GAA club, Young Irelands, where he spent a lot of time in his youth and where he, his father and brothers played and managed at all levels. Proceeds will be invested in facilities for current and future generations. www.youngirelandsgaa.ie
