SUMMARY:Clare Island Adventure Race
DESCRIPTION:EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT: Register in January for a reduction of 10% on all entry fees.\nNow in its 5th year\, the Clare Island Adventure Race 2017 is set to take place on Saturday\, 29th April over the May bank Holiday. \nWhile you’re primary focus in on the race\, let’s first take a look at the island itself and why you should participate in this race and immerse yourself in Clare Island. \nThe race starts and after party begins at Go Explore Hostel & Sailor’s Bar which offers single beds in en-suite dorms or rooms of 6 or 8 which can be booked by groups. The bed night rate is €24 per person including a light breakfast. Visit www.goexplorehostel.ie for more info or call 098 26307 to make a reservation. \nThe Race\nThis event will appeal to both experienced and novice adventure racers. There are two options. First for the experienced racer. The full course will be the perfect warm-up race for a busy season ahead. With the climb of Knockmore\, this race is no picnic and will present a serious challenge even to seasoned adventurers. For those who might not be back in shape after the winter – or for beginners – the Spirit Race omits the climb of Knockmore\, and has a shorter cycle\, making it very doable although still reasonably challenging. It is also very affordable at just €45 for the full race and €35 for the shorter race. \nTHE COURSE  (Start time: 1.00pm)\n\nBreakdown of Full Race distances:\n\nRun – 5 km\nCycle – 13.6 km\nRun / Climb – 5 km\nDash to finish – 0.5 km (incl. beach obstacle course)\nTotal – 24.10 km\n\nBreakdown of Spirit Race distances:\n\nRun – 5 km\nCycle – 9.5 km\nDash to finish – 0.5 km (incl. beach obstacle course)\nTotal – 15 km\n\nStage 1 – Capnagower / Fawnglass loop run (5 km)\nStart at Go Explore Hostel & run along tarmac road with a small piece of green road\, wet in areas\, and back to hostel. \nStage 2 – The Gravel Pit cycle (5.5 km)                                  \nStart at Go Explore Hostel & cycle along tarmac road to the gravel pit situated at the foot of Knockmore. \nStage 3 – The Knockmore Mountain climb (5 km)\nStart at Gravel Pit & run along green road for 1km before beginning the mountain climb from circa 100m to 460m and back down the same way to the Gravel Pit. \nStage 4 – The Church Gate cycle (8.1 km)              \nStart at Gravel Pit & cycle along tarmac roads through the Church Gate and along the westerly side of the island to complete the Clare Island circuit & back to the harbour. \nStage 5 – Walk the Plank / Beach Challenge / Dash to the Finish (0.5 km)   \nRun from the bike drop off to the old pier where you walk the plank off the pier into the water and swim / wade back to the beach (swim / wade less than 15m).
