There will be four stopovers en route for all involved, where students will learn about some of the Olympic Values, the history of the Games, and get some insights and pro tips from elite Irish athletes.
There will be spot prizes, art challenges, and quizzes to make sure that all interests are catered for! The focus for this challenge is exploring the joy of effort and the wider benefits of sport and staying activity, with topics like teamwork, visualisation, motivation and goal setting discussed on the way.
