CLARE’s Fittest Superstars will raise much needed funds for Cahercalla Community Hospital and Ennis RFC on September 19th.
The event’s at the Ennis RFC grounds course features 10–12 obstacles designed by Davy Fitzgerald, creator of Ireland’s Fittest Family, and includes challenges similar to those seen on the TV show.
Cahercalla Community Hospital celebrated its 30th anniversary in April 2025, symbolising the generosity of the people of County Clare, who formally took over ownership and set up the first Community owned hospital in Ireland.
A lot has changed during this time, however, the ownership remains in the hands of the people of County Clare. Cahercalla Community Care prides itself in the great care the residents get from our dedicated and passionate staff who strive to promote the ‘home from home’ atmosphere within the facility. Participating or donating to the ‘Clare’s Fittest Superstars’ fundraiser will directly enhance the daily lives of the residents at Cahercalla Community Care.
Proceeds will support a wide range of activities, wellness initiatives, and lifestyle services. The generosity of doners will help the hospital provide more meaningful experiences and a vibrant, engaging environment for the people who have come to regard Cahercalla as their home.
Meanwhile, Ennis Rugby Football Club has officially launched an ambitious fundraising campaign following the granting of planning permission for a transformational €2.5 million redevelopment of its facilities at Drumbiggle, Ennis.
The project represents the largest single investment in the club’s history and will deliver a modern clubhouse, pitch and match lighting upgrades, enhanced gym and training facilities, improved community spaces, upgraded player amenities, expanded parking and significant site improvements designed to serve members and the wider community for generations to come.
Ennis RFC has a proud tradition spanning generations and continues to be one of the leading rugby clubs in the region, providing opportunities for players of all ages and abilities while serving as an important community hub for Ennis and County Clare.
All obstacles are achievable, but teams must work together to complete them. The event tests strength, stamina, communication, strategy, and teamwork. Ennis RFC are reminding competitors that this is a fun, team-based challenge inspired by Ireland’s Fittest Family, with Davy Fitz and his team coming to Ennis, built around teamwork, laughs and community.
