Run over a flat, fast, scenic course in the Donegal seaside resort, the race will have chip timing, mile markers, split times given at every mile and water stations.
The first 1,500 entrants will receive souvenir Technical Fabric T-shirts and goodie bags.
Entry fee is €25 fee before 24t February or €30 on the day.
All funds raised from the event will go to three designated charities – the Laura Lynn Children’s Hospice, Marie Keating Foundation and Neighbourhood Youth Project (NYP) in Bundoran.
There is no entry fee for a 5k run/walk taking place on Friday 28 February. A surf and cycle event will take place on Sunday 2 March.
Last year’s event attracted over 1,200 entrants and raised over €15,000 for the official designated charities – North West Hospice and St Vincent de Paul.
The Challenge also supported the local RNLI with a lifesaving defibrillator.
