Connemara Adventure Challenge

Gaelforce West is the largest one day adventure race of its kind in the world. It is in its fifth year year in 2010 with last year seeing 2500 competitors taking part. This year we are open to 3000 competitors. The race is a multi-sport adventure race involving cycling, running, hiking and kayaking. The course of approximately 65km stretches from the stunning Glassilaun beach to Westport. En route there are some significant obstacles to cross, including Killary Harbour and the famous holy mountain of Croagh Patrick. The event is designed for solo competitors, but you can run it with a buddy or training partner.
This years event takes place on the 21st of August 2010 and costs €85 per person. We sold out mid July last year so make sure to get in early this year.

This year we are bringing you a brand new race – Connemara Adventure Challenge. It will take the format of Gaelforce West with 3 disciplines; trail/mountain running (walking and jogging also accepted!), Kayaking and cycling.The Connemara Adventure Challenge is almost half the distances of Gaelforce West at approx 26km in total and it is open to racers of all levels. It will take place amongst the most amazing scenery of Killary fjord and the spectacular Connemara. This area of the country is stunning, rugged and provides the perfect playground for an adventure race.

The race will run on the 8th May and costs €65 per person.

We will also be bringing you the return on our 24hr bike races which we hope run on the 19th June. We are just finalising details on this event so keep an eye on the website.
