Check our some of the reviews from Principals and Parent Associations that have taken part in the School Marathon Relay



Kentstown NS, Co Meath
Our Parents Association recently organised a School Marathon Relay Fundraiser with Ciarán and Fitter Younger and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to other schools. There was very little for us to do in terms of planning as everything was taken care of by Ciarán, all we had to do was turn up! The children and staff all had a fantastic day and there was a real buzz of excitement around the school. The event is very well run and includes all ages and abilities, would highly recommend!



Rolestown NS, Co Dublin
I couldn't recommend Fitter Younger more. It was one of the most successful fundraisers we have ever done and all with minimal effort. Our small/medium sized school raised over €10,000 and the children loved every minute of it! Ciaran is such a lovely man and so easy to deal with. His enthusiasm and hard work on the day, filtered down to all of us. We will definitely be doing the fitter Stronger marathon again next year and we'll be aiming to beat our time



St Patrick’s PS, Gortin, Co Tyrone
The event was a wonderful opportunity to get the whole school together to participate in a morning full of fun and craic !.. as well as a chance to exercise and most importantly raise much needed funds for our school.. with no stress whatsoever on the staff! The whole event was so relaxing and went so smoothly .. in the words of a wee P1 pupil .. ‘Can we do it again tomorrow?



Gaelscoil Éanna, Navan, Co Meath
We had our school marathon relay last week and from start to finish Ciarán was just brilliant to deal with. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and it was a fantastic whole school activity! We would highly recommend Fitter Younger and we look forward to our next marathon!



St Colman's NS, Cloyne, Co Cork
I couldn't recommend Ciarán from Fitter Younger more. It was one of the most successful fundraisers we have ever done and all with minimal effort. Ciarán looks after everything from the sponsorship cards and posters to timetable for the day. All of our staff and students thoroughly enjoyed the day and we look forward to welcoming Ciarán back to Cloyne again.



St Stephen’s NS, Navan, Co Meath
Taking part in the Marathon Relay Fundraiser was a really positive experience for our school and a brilliant way to raise money with minimal effort for schools. Ciarán from Fitter Younger organised everything from the sponsorship cards and posters, time-tables for classes down to organising and facilitating the event on the day. As a large school with 880 children taking part, we couldn't believe how well the day went - amazing! A brilliant and easy way to fundraise!!



Holy Trinity PS, Cookstown, Co Tyrone
On behalf of Friends of Holy Trinity PS I can't recommend Fitter Younger enough! As far as fundraisers go, this was one of the most straightforward and prolific. Ciaran managed the entire process seamlessly and the children had an absolute blast!! Win win for all!! Thank you.



Altamuskin PS, Co Tyrone
Our school took part in the School Half Marathon relay yesterday and it was a super success! Ciaran planned this event with minimal input from our school. He encouraged EVERY child around the track and ensured that everyone felt included... Even the adults!!! I would highly recommend this event as a school fundraiser.



St Oliver's NS, Carlingford Co Louth
Ciarán thank you so much for all your help with our recent relay fundraiser for St Oliver’s N.S in Carlingford. Pupils, parents and staff had a great day with lots of fun! See you next year



Lismullen NS, Co Meath
As a member of the PA at Lismullen National School, we organised a School Marathon Relay with Ciarán. We completed it yesterday 12th December, in 2hrs 31mins 17secs. Everyone involved from Junior infants right through to 6th Class, teachers, staff and parents all had an absolutely fantastic morning, who knew that running could be so much fun in the winter! Ciarán organised everything for this fundraising event with minimal input from the PA and the School. Ciarán was a pleasure to deal with from the initial contact and nothing was too much trouble and he provided everything we needed to run the event all we had to do was turn up! Thanks so much Ciarán at Fitter Younger for providing such a fun filled fundraising opportunity in which our wonderful children in Lismullen were all able to participate in and thoroughly enjoy. I highly recommend the Marathon Relay to any club / School wishing to raise funds and allow the children to get active and have fun at the same time. Looking forward to next year already.



St John's NS, Drogheda, Co Louth
A massive thank you to Ciarán from fitter younger for helping us to organise our school marathon relay. It was simple and effective for all ages and the perfect way to encourage children to get active! There was a great atmosphere in the school and the children absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend Ciarán. We are already looking forward to our next marathon!



St Brigid's GNS, Glasnevin, Dublin
I would highly recommend Ciarán and the School Marathon Relay as a fundraiser. Ciarán provided all posters and sponsorship cards and liaised with the school re the timetable for the day. He ran the event so efficiently and it required minimal input from the Parents Association. It was the easiest fundraising event we've run but was extremely successful, raising €8,100! All the girls loved doing the relay. Many thanks Ciarán for all your help!



St Macartan's PS, Clogher, Co Tyrone
The Fitter Younger School Marathon Relay was a huge success in our school last Friday, 2nd October. The children really enjoyed it and it is an ideal fundraiser, especially in light of the Covid-19 restrictions. The children were able to safely maintain their 'bubbles'and the elbow pump was a super alternative to passing the baton. Thank you Ciarán!



St Declan's NS, Ashbourne, Co Meath
An excellent opportunity for your school/club to come together and raise funds. Superbly organised by Ciaran, who was at all times efficient and proactive. Excellent feedback from the parents in our school, and enjoyed by almost 700 kids on the day!



Rathfeigh NS, Co Meath
Rathfeigh NS Parents Association held a School Marathon Relay last week with Ciarán from Fitter Younger. This was a huge success and is definitely an event that we will repeat. The children had an absolute ball and they had great fun cheering each other on. All children from Juniors up to 6th Class took part along with a few brave adults. Despite it being probably the wettest day of the year, everyone really enjoyed themselves. The time of 2:43:09 was fantastic given the wet conditions and gives us a target to beat next time.
Ciarán provides the sponsorship cards and advertising material and he sets the course up on the day. He was so professional, arriving early to have everything set up and being on hand all day to help with the rotation of classes. We highly recommend this as a fundraiser for any school or club. There was minimal effort required from the PA Association and the sponsorship money made from this event surpassed all our expectations. Thank you Ciarán for all your help on the day and we look forward to doing this again!



St Michael's NS, Trim, Co Meath
Huge thanks to Ciarán for organising this event. It was a great success in every way. We raised over €4000 with little effort. The kids loved the day and were talking at it for weeks after! St. Michael's N.S. Trim.



Loreto PS, Rathfarnham, Dublin
What a fantastic fundraising event! Thanks so much to Ciarán for making it so easy. Always quick to respond to any query that we had, providing everything that was needed and making the whole process effortless for us...we really did just have to show up on the day! Most importantly we raised an incredible amount of money for the school and all the children had a fantastic time running their first ever marathon! Thanks Ciarán, 100% would recommend Fitter Younger.



Presentation PS, Drogheda, Co Louth
We held this marathon relay event in school today. It was such a fantastic event. There was great excitement in the school. It was lovely to see all the children encouraging their class mates and the teachers. Thanks Ciarán for organising this event for us



Annaduff NS, Co Leitrim
I can't recommend Ciarán and Fitter Younger enough. We held a marathon at our local school Annaduff NS last week. Both children and teachers really enjoyed the event and are eager to bet their time next year. We raised over €3000 sponsorship for the school. Fantastic. Ciarán makes everything easy and is really professional with minium extra work for teachers and parents. Highly recommended.



The Harold School, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin
Ciaran from Fitter Younger organised a fantastic marathon event at the Harold School last week. Around 600 students participated in the run. Great fun and a brilliant fund raiser. Thank you Fitter Younger!
