Just the name changes\, the course is exact same. \n\n62K Ultra race \n12.5K Run – Starting at the Sliabh Sneacht Centre a flat start soon turns right onto a 3.0k steep climb\, starting on road and eventually leading onto hill track. After passing the Wind Mills the hill road goes into a long decline before ending back on main roads and a rolling terrain leads runners to the Lake Kayak stage. \n1.5k Kayak – Kayaking is on Lough Fad lake\, surrounded by steep mountainous terrain\, so enjoy and relax a little for some of the tasks ahead. \n22.5k Cycle – The first cycle of the day starts with a 6k on road then 6k off road section which incorporates a 1k steep climb. Fantastic panoramic scenery on both sides of Lough Swilly as you wind your way around Wind Mills before embarking on rural windy\, rolling roads for the final half of the cycle terminating with a steep off road climb to base of Sliabh Sneacht. \n7.0K Mountain Trek – Starting with a .75k track\, then onto a similar distance of relatively flat but boggy section before embarking on the real 2k climb of Sliabh Sneacht. Hopefully a clear day will reveal the real beauty of the peninsula for as far as the eye can see. \n18.3K Cycle 2 – Continuing on Mountain track and after a short 1k you may have to assist / carry you bike across a 100m section then another 2k of off road before eventually ending up on small windy rural roads as you make your way back to the Finish line at Sliabh Sneacht Centre at Drumfries. \n0.2K Run -Rack your bike and a short sprint around the Centre to the very welcome Finish Gantry where you’ll get presented with your Medal and Race time and then a well deserved warm meal as you reminisce on your achievement with friends and colleagues. \n41K Sprint Race \n6.50k Run – All on road this starts with an easy flat then continues on rolling roads as you make your way to Lough Fad and the Kayak section. \n1.5k Kayak – Kayaking is on Lough Fad lake\, surrounded by steep mountainous terrain\, so enjoy and relax a little for some of the tasks ahead. \n15.5k Cycle – The first cycle of the day starts with a 6k on road then 5k off road section which incorporates a 1k steep climb. Fantastic panoramic scenery on both sides of Lough Swilly as you wind your way around Wind Mills and separate from the Extreme Course for a shorter descent before embarking on rural windy\, rolling roads for the final half of the cycle terminating with a steep off road climb to base of Sliabh Sneacht. \n5.3K Mountain Trek – Starting with a .75k track\, then onto a similar distance of relatively flat but boggy section before embarking on over 1k of a rock/heather climb of Sliabh Sneacht.

Running/walking: 15km approx \n2. Cycling: 33km approx \n3. Kayaking: 1.5km max \n\nBRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION:\nSTAGE 1 RUN (1KM)\nShort run around Sean Walsh Park to the first bike transition \nSTAGE 2 CYCLING (16.5KM)\nSealed roads followed by dirt road and a 4km uphill on Coilte forest gravel track. This cycle stage also includes 2 steep descents (*DESCENT 1 & 2). You will need to be comfortable cycling off road uphill and downhill to manage this cycle. \nSTAGE 3 KAYAKING ON RESERVOIR (1.5KM)\nFrom the bike drop there is a short run up the hill to the top reservoir where you will start the kayak stage. The boats are tandem sit-on-top kayaks. \nSTAGE 4 KIPPURE MOUNTAIN RUN/WALK (13KM)\nA marked route is followed up and down Kippure Mountain. You will run alongside the reservoir then on the road until you reach the track for the mountain.  This track is very uneven so watch your footing. The route takes you roughly 2 km up the hill before you turn around to return to the bike drop. \nSTAGE 5 CYCLING (16.5KM)\nThe first section of the cycle includes the same road you ran out on so it is gravel\, take care with your tyres. There is then probably one of the hardest climbs of the race as you head uphill for almost 2km.  This is followed by a severe descent (*DESCENT 3).  Then you are heading back to Tallaght and the stadium where you began. \nRUN TO FINISH\nThe final run of glory to finish. \n  \nRegister Now!\n  \nPRICING & INFO\n\n\n\nENTRY IS ONLINE ONLY AND IS NOW OPEN\n**€75.00pp    Until 17:00  28 Sept 2018 Early Bird Price \n€80.00pp    Until 17:00    30 November 2018 \n€85.00pp    Until 17:00    15 March 2019 \n€95.00pp    Until registration closes 22 March 2019 \nAll prices shown exclude €4.50 booking fee \nPLEASE NOTE\n\nOnline registration closes at 09:00 on Friday 22 March 2019\nYou must be over 18 years of age on the day of the race to enter\nEntries available on the day €100.00pp in cash\n\nYou must be over 18 years of age on the day of the race to enter \nGROUP BOOKINGS DISCOUNT\nBook 10 competitors and get the 11th person free – email us at info@gaelforceevents.com to organise your discount. \nENTRY FEE INCLUDES:\n\nEvent technical T-shirt\nRace medal upon completion\nUse of kayaks\, paddles and buoyancy aids\nUse of individual electronic timing chips\nPost-event food\nGaelforce Craft Beer\nAfterparty in Molloys Bar & Grill with a Free Beer or Gaelforce Cocktail\n\nPlease note t-shirts are ordered 4 weeks in advance of the race.
