The Blindfold Challenge will take place on Thursday evening, August 1, 2013 in the sports ground at Trinity College Dublin. This is a unique event that highlights the challenges of not having the benefit of your sight, the trust placed in a friend or colleague, the importance of teamwork and will hopefully also turn out to be very good fun!
The event will be aimed at groups of four people (two teams of two). The challenge is to run one lap of the track (400 metres) as a blindfolded runner being guided by a team mate, and then a second lap where the roles reverse, the blindfolded runner becomes the guide.
Team of 2 – Regular Entry (From 26/06/13 to 15/07/13) – €60
Team of 2 – Late Entry (From 16/07/13 to 29/07/13) – €70
