The ten teenagers will live together, cook together and train together but also compete against each other to win the ultimate prize of being crowned the Ultimate Street Challenge Champion!
Ultimate Street Challenge is a brand new young people’s entertainment programme created and produced for RTÉ by Tyrone Productions. The show will be airing on RTÉ Two at 5.30pm on Mondays and Fridays from Monday 5 December until Friday 23 December.
The show features ten 16 year olds (five male, five female) from around the country who will live together in Dublin for three weeks - away from the creature comforts of home! The ten were selected after a nationwide search to find suitable participants for the show.
Viewers will follow the ten challengers on their journey as they face back breaking daily training sessions and a series of high octane challenges on the streets of Dublin!
Personal trainer
In each episode, the ten challengers will work with personal trainer Karl Henry to build their mental strength, physical fitness and team spirit as well as developing a sense of personal achievement. The teens also take part in strenuous training sessions in urban settings such as Grand Canal Dock’s Chimney Park, Spencer Dock, Point Village, Waterways Dock, the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, HSQ, Smithfield Square and the beach at Blackrock.
At the end of each episode, the Challengers will face an Ultimate Street Challenge set by former world champion super bantamweight boxer Bernard Dunne. Challenges include abseiling from the roof of the Aviva Stadium, a paddleboard race at Grand Canal Dock, a 2km sprint along the Great South Wall and climbing the towering Wheel of Dublin.
At the end of each episode of the Ultimate Street Challenge, Bernard Dunne and Karl Henry will select one Challenger who must leave the competition and go home!
The Challengers were picked to represent a range of sporting abilities and interests and for their enthusiasm to take part. They are:
• Adam Whelan from Kilquade, Co Wicklow
• Alice Dever from Achill Island, Co Mayo
• Ciara Duffy from Rochfortbridge, Co Westmeath
• Ciaran Walsh from Irishtown, Dublin
• Damien O’Donoghue from Carbury, Co Kildare
• Jade Dunne from Glasnevin, Dublin
• Jessica Monks from Tallaght, Dublin
• Kane Molloy from Arklow, Co Wicklow
• Karl Murphy from Clonsilla, Dublin

5 December until 23 December.
