All are welcome. Venue and time to be confirmed. \nRunning Sections\nThe running sections are generally good quality roads\, paths\, or trails\, but a lot of the trails are very wet and soft so expect muddy ankles! \nThe forest trail has a lot of fallen leaves so will be slippery. \nGenerally\, participants are asked to keep to the left-hand side of the track\, except on the main road on the return leg of the run where you will keep to the right within the coned pathway. Note this is an in and out run so you will have participants coming towards you at times. Please give way to inbound (faster) racers. \nExpert – TBC \nAll runs will finish back at the start point where you will transition to your bike. \nBiking Sections\nThe race takes place on open roads. Markings and marshals are there to help you and to manage traffic safety\, but you must take responsibility for your own safety and must obey the rules of the road at all times. \nRoad surfaces are typically tarmac covered country/back roads and generally will be normal to poor surface\, sometimes VERY poor (It’s an Adventure Race not a Tri!). Any markings stating that there is bad surface ahead can be taken literally. Note any descents marked as dangerous must be cycled in single file with no overtaking allowed. \nPlease rack your bike as tightly as possible and attach your helmet to your bike whilst it is in transition. Bikes will be moved by marshals if not racked properly. \nYou will be instructed to mount and dismount at certain points and you must obey these instructions. Anyone failing to do so may be disqualified and/or asked to abandon the race by the Race Director. \nSport & Expert : Coomb Hill\, known locally as “The Wall”\, is a narrow steep climb where many will need to dismount. As instructed by marshals\, please walk on left and pass on right only. \nYou will not be allowed to mount your bike unless you are wearing a helmet. For safety reasons Aero/Tri Handlebars are not permitted. \nPuncture resistant tyres are strongly recommended for the Sport and Expert courses. \nThe end of the bike leg has a 120 degree very sharp bend off the main road back to the club entrance. Please pay extra attention at this turn when instructed. \nKayak Sections\nParticipants in Expert and Sport will be required to kayak a 1.5 km course on Lough Hyne\, on event-organizer-provided sit-on-top double kayaks. \nParticipants will be provided with a buoyancy aid\, which is compulsory to wear at all times on the water. \nIf you arrive to the kayak area and a kayak is available you must take the next one up. In a case where no kayak is available you will be asked by the Timing Marshal to time out while you await a free kayak. Time outs can only be taken if directed by the Timing Marshal. Kayak course may be shortened (due to weather conditions etc) if deemed necessary by the Race Director before or during the event. \nA full safety team will be on the water and you must accept any instructions given to you by this team without dispute. \nFinally\nParticipants undertake SCAR Skibbereen Adventure Race at their own risk. The event is covered by public liability insurance but should you require personal insurance you should make your own arrangements. \nPlease familiarise yourself with the route maps. \nPlease observe warning signs and any race marshal’s advice. \nYou are privileged to be allowed to race in several of these iconic facilities normally reserved for casual recreation\, so please respect the environment. \nAnyone found littering in any section of the course will be immediately disqualified. Feel free to report others littering to our marshals. \nRemember every one of the 100+ marshals you meet during the race is giving their time freely to volunteer to make your race better. \nPlease respect them and give them a small thank you as you pass them. \nWithout them you wouldn’t be racing! \n  \nThanks for all your support. Have a great race. Enjoy! \nFor Full List of FAQ’s\, click here…

SUMMARY:The Coalface Adventure Race
DESCRIPTION:This is a single day Adventure Duathlon. Based in a former coal mine you will be running and cycling up to four sections\, combining running trail\, forest track\, hills and an abandoned open cast mine. The cycle sections are on sealed tarmac roads of varying quality\, from primary roads to quiet country lanes. With a choice of two different courses there is one for you to pit yourself against. \nWe are fortunate to have the picturesque Discovery Park as the central transition point for each section of the race. In this way you will always loop back to facilities and supporters who will get to spur you on throughout the race without them having to leave the comfort of the Park. \nThe Park has a huge range of activities open for any active family members including a massive Zip-wire\, tree-top walks\, playground and a woodland Cafe! \nChanges for 2019 \n\nThe Start and Finish Area has moved! It will be deep in the Woodland at the Canopy Cafe and Elf Village. It is approx 500m from the Bike racking/transition. This area has Registration\, Post Race Food\, Massage\, Bag Drop\, Covered seating\, toilets\, a hot food Cafe\, kids activities (see www.discoveypark.ie for details).\nThe 20km Cycle Route has been changed. Still a challenge but turns left at the Park Exit\, avoiding the busy centre of Castlecomer Town and uses quieter back roads with two hilly sections (see route description).\nThe 2nd Cycle for The Elite and Sport Race’s is the reverse route of last year (Please note when reviewing route maps).\nThe Finish line is 500metres from Bike transition for The Sport and The Elite Options.\n\n\n\n\n\nSPORT COURSE\n\n\n56KM TOTAL DISTANCE \n\n\nAn endurance sapping combination. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is easy on paper. At 56km it is the longest Sport Course in the Country! A good level of fitness it required and completion will be the name of the game for many\, especially if it is wet. Your Coalface T-shirt will hang with pride. \nBreakdown of 56km Sport Course: \nStage 1 – Trail/Forest Run 5km\nStage 2 – Cycle 20km (New Route)\nStage 3 – Forest/Quarry/Trail 7km.\nStage 4 – Cycle 25km (Reverse of 2017 Route)\nNOTE: There will be a 500m run from Bike to the Finish Line in the woods \n\n\nCHALLENGE COURSE\n\n\n30KM TOTAL DISTANCE  \n\n\nFor those who love the outdoors and have always wanted to test themselves against the natural terrain then this is your opportunity! With a medium level of training (see The CoalFace Training Blog) you could conquer a real challenge across this course that will see you running trails and woodland\, cycling a route of rolling north Kilkenny Countryside before finishing with a trail and woodland path run to the finish. Tackle this as a team or solo\, have plenty of friends/family enjoy the experience too as all your transitions are in the comforts of the Discovery Park.  Wear your medal with pride as you enjoy the post race refreshments! \nBreakdown of 30km Challenge (Solo or Team): \nStage 1 Trail/Forest Run 5km\nStage 2 Cycle 21km\nStage 3 Woodland Pathway/Trail Run 4km \n\n\n\nWhat do I get for my money? Unlike other Adventure Races there is NO BOOKING FEE! \n•    An exciting\, unique\, community based event but professionally presented\n•    All the Discovery Park Facilities for you and family/Friends as well as discounts for on-the-day Park activities check out www.discoverypark.ie\n•    Free Secure Parking in the Discovery Park (Normally €4 per car)\n•    High quality Technical Running Top\n•    A generous Coalface Goody Bag with snacks and drinks\n•    A Coalface Finishers Medal uniquely designed by visual artist Mick Minogue (@MickMinogueMadeThis)\n•    Hot food and drink to refuel when you cross the line\n•    Fully marshalled and signed routes\n•    Insurance and Accident/Medical Response Team\n•    Sports Massage available \nThis is a Not for Profit Community Event.

All are welcome. Venue and time to be confirmed. \nRunning Sections\nThe running sections are generally good quality roads\, paths\, or trails\, but a lot of the trails are very wet and soft so expect muddy ankles! \nThe forest trail has a lot of fallen leaves so will be slippery. \nGenerally\, participants are asked to keep to the left-hand side of the track\, except on the main road on the return leg of the run where you will keep to the right within the coned pathway. Note this is an in and out run so you will have participants coming towards you at times. Please give way to inbound (faster) racers. \nExpert – TBC \nAll runs will finish back at the start point where you will transition to your bike. \nBiking Sections\nThe race takes place on open roads. Markings and marshals are there to help you and to manage traffic safety\, but you must take responsibility for your own safety and must obey the rules of the road at all times. \nRoad surfaces are typically tarmac covered country/back roads and generally will be normal to poor surface\, sometimes VERY poor (It’s an Adventure Race not a Tri!). Any markings stating that there is bad surface ahead can be taken literally. Note any descents marked as dangerous must be cycled in single file with no overtaking allowed. \nPlease rack your bike as tightly as possible and attach your helmet to your bike whilst it is in transition. Bikes will be moved by marshals if not racked properly. \nYou will be instructed to mount and dismount at certain points and you must obey these instructions. Anyone failing to do so may be disqualified and/or asked to abandon the race by the Race Director. \nSport & Expert : Coomb Hill\, known locally as “The Wall”\, is a narrow steep climb where many will need to dismount. As instructed by marshals\, please walk on left and pass on right only. \nYou will not be allowed to mount your bike unless you are wearing a helmet. For safety reasons Aero/Tri Handlebars are not permitted. \nPuncture resistant tyres are strongly recommended for the Sport and Expert courses. \nThe end of the bike leg has a 120 degree very sharp bend off the main road back to the club entrance. Please pay extra attention at this turn when instructed. \nKayak Sections\nParticipants in Expert and Sport will be required to kayak a 1.5 km course on Lough Hyne\, on event-organizer-provided sit-on-top double kayaks. \nParticipants will be provided with a buoyancy aid\, which is compulsory to wear at all times on the water. \nIf you arrive to the kayak area and a kayak is available you must take the next one up.

SUMMARY:SCAR 2017
DESCRIPTION:SCAR stands for Skibbereen Charity Adventure Race.\nWell\, it’s finally here! SCAR CHALLENGE Skibbereen Charity Adventure Race is only days away. \nFirstly\, thank you all for bearing with us over the last few stormy weeks and it is great you all stayed and are taking part. \nWith over 350 participants and over €20\,000 raised for charity\, we are delighted to welcome you all to West Cork finally! \nHopefully you have kept your training going and are ready to take on the course you have selected. Have a great race! \n  \nSecondly\, we would like to thank Kinetica Sports Ltd.\, for coming on board as our title sponsor for 2017. Without their generous support and that of all our sponsors\, service providers and volunteers we would not be in the unique position of being the largest Adventure Race in Ireland where 100% of all your race entry fees are donated to charity. \nThis year’s main beneficiary is Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House charity provides accommodation and a caring and supportive environment for families whose children are seriously ill and are hospitalised or undergoing medical treatment at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital\, Crumlin\, Dublin 12. The positive effect this donation will make\, along with the several other charities throughout Ireland who will receive donations from the monies you raised\, is the reason we run SCAR each year. \nWe hope you enjoy the day and get the feel-good factor you deserve for being part of this unique experience. \nBelow is all the information you require to ensure a safe and happy event. Please take the time to read it fully. It’s in your interest. \nPlease note the new CHALLENGE course has lots of changes to the normal SCAR course so watch out and check the courses on facebook\, website or below. \n  \nTASTER – 21 KM\nTASTER Course starts with a 5Km out and back Hill Run\, followed by a 16Km Coastal Cycle Loop around Toe Head and Tragumna\, past Liss Ard Lake and back to the Start/Finish Line. With nearly 300mts of climbing in this short 21km course you will get a real taste for Adventure Racing. \n \n\n\n\n  \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\nSPORT – 49.5 KM\nSPORT Course starts with the same 5Km out and back Hill Run\, followed by an iconic 22Km cycle to Lough Hyne on the Coastal Route that takes in Toe Head\, Tragumna\, the “WALL” Coomb Hill\, before dropping down to rack your bike and kayak a 1.5Km loop on the world renown Lough Hyne\, Europe’s largest saltwater lake. After your kayak\, you bike back 21Km to Castlehaven on the Coastal Loop that takes in our second most favorite hill\, “CALGARY”\, before passing the beautiful Baltimore Harbour\, then rounding past Liss Ard gates to sprint the last 3km back to the start finish line. \nNOTE: EXPERT and SPORT Course participants will earn points for the MSAI National Series in-place of SCAR’17 \n \n  \n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nEXPERT – 57.5 KM\nEXPERT Course will start with a new 13Km out and back Hill Run taking in the full loop within Rineen Woods bringing you back through transition to collect your bike and take on the same challenging route as the SPORT course. You also get to enjoy the Lough Hyne kayak leg this time round.

We organise fundraising events for local\, national and international causes\, whilst dedicated to the idea that the people who live in a community are in the best position to know what help its community members need and why. \nFollowing on from the success of the 2014\, 2015 & 2016 SCAR as well as the Skibbereen Down & Dirty Mud Run and the Skibbereen Glow Run we are making plans for the 2017 Skibbereen Charity Adventure Race\, which will take place on Saturday 21st October in Skibbereen. \n\nAs with all previous events 100% of the entry fee goes to local charities.\n\nIn 2013 we donated over €12\,000 to various charities in West Cork\, all of which was raised by competitors in the above events. In 2014 SCAR raised over €18\,000 and we increased this figure to over €31\,000 in 2016. Our goal is to build on the last four years to make SCAR’17 an even bigger success. \nSCAR ’17 will be an even bigger and better event with courses available to suit\, beginners\, intermediate and expert adventure racers. Each course will be fully timed with splits and will all finish in the grounds of the stunning Liss Ard Estate on the outskirts of Skibbereen town. \nWhichever course you choose you will be guaranteed to spend a couple of hours running\, biking\, or kayaking in some of Irelands most scenic environs and this year will see Europe’s largest saltwater lake\, and Ireland’s first marine reserve\, Lough Hyne\, being used for the kayaking section. This will be a truly unique opportunity for the competitors as they get to challenge themselves in this conservation paradise. \nThe courses will also take you out of Skibbereen and through surrounding villages\, such as Union Hall\, Castletownshend\, and Baltimore as well as tens of kilometers along coastal roads with stunning sea views as far as the famous Fastnet Rock. \nIf you really want to challenge yourself in the glorious surrounds of West Cork and help charities by knowing that 100% of your race entry fee is being donated to worthy causes then sign up today to take part in SCAR ’17 and let West Cork leave its mark on you next October. \nYours in Racing\, \nThe SCAR  Team

SUMMARY:The COALFACE
DESCRIPTION:This is a single day adventure duathlon race. Based in a former coal mine you will be running and cycling up to four sections\, combining running trail\, forest track\, hills and an abandoned open cast mine. The cycle sections are on sealed tarmac roads of varying quality\, from primary roads to quiet country lanes. With a choice of three different courses there is one for you to pit yourself against. \nThe 78km Elite and the 56km Sport will incorporate some of the longest drags and the fastest descents in the County. We are fortunate to have the picturesque Discovery Park as the central transition point for each section of the race. In this way you will always loop back to facilities and supporters who will get to spur you on throughout the race without them having to leave the comfort of the Park. The Park has a huge range of activities open for any active family members including a massive Zip-wire\, a full restaurant and a craft village! \n  \n\n\n\nCOURSE\nSolo Entry 1st July to Sept 9th\nEarly Bird Solo Entry til June 30th\nTeam Entry up til Sept 19th\n \n\n\n\n\nElite 78km\n€70\n€63 (10% Saving)\n€50 per person (max 4)\nRACE SIGNUP\n\n\nSport 56km\n€60\n€54 (10% Saving)\n€45 per person (max 4)\nRACE SIGNUP\n\n\nChallenge 30km\n€45\n€39.50 (10% Saving)\n€30 per person (max 3)\nRACE SIGNUP\n\n\n\nUnlike other Adventure Races there is NO BOOKING FEE! \nWhat do I get for my money?\n•    An exciting\, unique\, community based event but professionally presented\n•    All the Discovery Park Facilities for you and family/Friends as well as discounts for on-the-day Park activities check out www.discoverypark.ie\n•    Free Secure Parking in the Discovery Park (Normally €4 per car)\n•    High quality Technical Running Top\n•    A generous Coalface Goody Bag with snacks and drinks\n•    A Coalface Finishers Medal uniquely designed by visual artist Mick Minogue (@MickMinogueMadeThis)\n•    Hot food and drink to refuel when you cross the line\n•    Fully marshalled and signed routes\n•    Insurance and Accident/Medical Response Team\n•    Sports Massage available \nThis is a Not for Profit Community Event.
