Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team (DWMRT) is a volunteer rescue service, available 24 hours per day, every day, to respond to emergencies in upland areas of Dublin, Wicklow, and Louth. DWMRT's mission is to provide a professional-standard, voluntary emergency rescue service. The team comprises 60 highly-trained, motivated, volunteer mountain rescuers, coming from all walks of life, and united by a common love of the outdoors. DWMRT works to provide an emergency search and rescue response in upland and remote parts of our operational area. DWMRT is part-funded by the Irish government, but the team's operational costs far exceed the government funding we receive. The rest of our operational costs are met by donations, grants, and fundraising events. The team is always grateful for any financial support we receive, without that support we couldn't do what we do.
The AON Challenge commemorates the 1592 escape from Dublin Castle by Art O'Neill, his brother Henry, and Red Hugh O'Donnell. The Challenge is a 60km race on road and open mountain starting in Dublin Castle and finishing at Glenmalure, Co. Wicklow. This event is organised by, and solely for the benefit of Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team. Find out more at https://artoneill.ie/
