May the road rise up to meet you
Are you looking for a diversion to keep you motivated and fit? Join us and kick-start 2021 off with an epic 4 ½ month Challenge from now until May 31 across the West Coast of Ireland. Better yet, grab a friend. You can do this solo, as part of a team or as a member of a relay.
Our Run West Ireland Challenge transports you along a route located on the rugged and majestic coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way. You’ll pass medieval castles, stunning cliffs, and an epic coastal landscape, the likes of which legends are made of. You can choose to challenge yourself to complete distances of 100 miles to 502 miles and anywhere in between.
Your 502-mile journey begins at the famous Stone Age archaeological site of Céide Fields and finishes in County Cork at the medieval Blarney Castle. You can run, walk or log exercise equivalents from the comfort of your home gym, treadmill, neighborhood streets, or nearby trails no matter your zip code.
