John O’Sullivan General Manager, Lee Strand stated “Lee Strand Protein+ Milk is delighted to sponsor B WILDERED, once again this year. B WILDERED promises to be a great event and all proceeds will go to the development of a new juvenile training pitch for Ballymacelligott GAA Club boys and girls.” John Lenihan commented at the launch “History shows that this rugged landscape has created heroes and warriors, now is your chance to create your piece of history here in the mysterious valley of legends.” Joe O’Connor, Nisus Fitness commented “B WILDERED will be a combination of hill & trail running, obstacle courses and a little influence of the TV Show Ireland’s Fittest Families. Get your friends together, it will be wet, it will be muddy, it will be fun, it will be challenging, but most of all it will be an experience you will remember. The course is challenging but is set amongst some of the nicest scenery in the country. Remember this is not a race, you can run, jog, walk or crawl – the challenge for you, is to cross the finish line!”
