Ireland Fittest Family 2024 applications open

In its twelfth year, the competition is more intense than ever before

Ireland Fittest Family 2024 applications open

Ireland’s Fittest Family is back combing the country to find the fittest, fastest and strongest families. 

Last year, rugby ace Donncha O’Callaghan coached the Stratfords from Co. Cavan to victory - perhaps this year it could be your family scaling the ramp for the title of Ireland’s Fittest Family.

Teams must have at least one male and one female member and can be made up of four immediate family members (a minimum of one parent/step-parent, one child), or if this isn’t possible, three immediate family members (as above) and an extended family member (Grandparent/First Cousin/Aunt/Uncle). 

The minimum age to take part is 14 years old by 1 June 2024. The series will be filmed between May and mid–August 2024, and families will be required to spend up to eight filming days (mostly on location) during this period. 

More information and a link to the application form can be found at rte.ie/irelandsfittestfamily.
