We are delighted to formally launch the Gers Abseil Challenge 2026. We are looking for 100 members from across the Club to abseil 150ft off the roof of Croke Park while taking in the panoramic views across the city. All funds raised will have a direct impact on the development and growth of our Club and its members. In addition, a share of the proceeds raised will be donated to Arc Cancer Care.

‘I'm taking part in the Ger’s Abseiling from Croke Park Challenge event on the 20th of March. The name gives it all away really, I'll be abseiling from the top of Croke park down 150ft to the pitch below and taking in the views of the city and stadium on the way. I'm raising funds for the Geraldines P. Moran GAA Club for development of facilities and support for the 30+ teams across the club. I would really appreciate your support for a great Club. A share of the funds will also be donated to Arc Cancer Care - a very worthy charity!
