Gaelforce West
Length: 65 km
Gaelforce West is the largest one day adventure race of its kind in the world. The 2010 event takes place on Saturday August 21st. This year we are delighted to announce that Killary Adventure Co. will be running Gaelforce West and all other Gaelforce Events.
It 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. Due to logistics we do not allow relay teams.
It is important to note that you will get wet and dirty; you are running through bogs, along mountain paths and even up a mountain! You are cycling along small country roads, a dirt track and on a small section of the N59. This is not a triathlon, a marathon or a fun run it is an adventure race. It will test you both physically and mentally but the elation you will feel at the end when you cross the finish line will make it all worth it!
