The Jadotville Challenge will mark the 60th anniversary of the events in the Congo and aims to raise money for the ONE.
Hundreds of volunteers are to cycle, walk or run a combined distance of 24,000 kilometres over the course of five days in aid of homeless veterans of the Irish Defence Forces.
The Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel (ONE) has launched the Jadotville Challenge to mark the 60th anniversary of the siege and raise funds for the charity.
The Siege of Jadotville occurred in September 1961 when a contingent of Irish troops came under attack by Katangese forces during a peacekeeping mission in the Congo.
