SUMMARY:Gaelforce - Womens Adventure Race Galway
DESCRIPTION:BACK OFF BOYS. THIS ONE IS JUST FOR THE LADIES.\nTIME OUT\nWe thought you might like to have some time out with the girls so that is exactly what we have created. Mothers\, daughters\, sisters\, grandmothers\, aunties and friends\, that includes all of you. \nTHE PERFECT RACE\nDesigned by the women of the Gaelforce Team for all women. What more can we say? \nTHE CHALLENGE\nWe have not made it any less competitive or challenging because we know you are up to it and like us you want to push your boundaries. \nTHE MEN\nHmmm…bag-carriers\, brow-moppers\, tear-shedders as we cross the line. Yes that will do. \nADVENTURE DUATHLON – 24KM ALSO AVAILABLE\nSTAY ON DRY LAND! Same magnificent course\, just without the kayak section. \nSTAY FOCUSED AND NEVER GIVE UP. WE ARE AMAZING WOMEN.\n\nTHE BREAKDOWN OF DISCIPLINE DISTANCES WITHIN THE 27KM TOTAL COURSE\n1. Running/walking: 10.5km approx      2. Cycling: 16km approx      3. Kayaking: 0.5km max \n  \nTHE DETAILED BREAKDOWN:\n\n\n\n\nSTAGE 1: RUN (8KM) \nHalf of the run is on the road and half is off-road on a rough trail. The race starts with the road run along the N59 towards Leenane village. This is a combination of downhill and flat. You will then join the rough trail (part of the Western Way) to make your way back to Killary Adventure Centre. This part of the run is uphill. The final 500m is across bog land. \nSTAGE 2: CYCLE (16KM) \nThe cycling section takes in 2 types of terrain. Half of the track is Coillte forest track and the other along sealed roads. We say sealed roads but this is Connemara so do not expect smooth\, flat\, pothole-free roads! For information on what bike to use read our FAQ section. \n\n\nSTAGE 3: RUN & KAYAK (2KM) \nThere is a short run to the kayaks\, through bog land initially and then onto a rough track 1.5km.\nThe kayaks will be 2 person sit-on-tops so grab a partner (the next competitor to you if racing alone) and take to the Killary Fjord. You will kayak approximately 0.5km in a loop. \nSTAGE 4:RUN (1KM) \nAfter the kayak section there is a short trail run back to Killary Adventure Centre and the finish line. \nADVENTURE DUATHLON – 24KM\nStage 1 and Stage 2 only. No Kayaking! \n\n\n\n  \nPRICING & INFO\n\n\n\nADVENTURE RACE AND ADVENTURE DUATHLON:\nENTRY IS ONLINE ONLY AND IS NOW OPEN\n€45.00pp      Until 17:00        January 31st 2017 (Early Bird) \n€50.00pp      Until 15:00        Friday 21 July 2017 \n€60.00pp      On the day      (cash only) \nAll online prices shown exclude €4.50 booking fee. \nPLEASE NOTE\nOnline entry closes at 15:00 on Friday 21 July 2017 \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. \nPlease note: This discount is only available after the early bird discount ends (Jan 31st 2016). \n\n\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 from John West!\n\nPlease note t-shirts are ordered 4 weeks in advance of the race.

Let us convince you otherwise with 5 very good reasons why we think you can: \n\n\n\n\n1. Less than 10km of running/walking – This is a do-able distance\, especially if you start training right now\, today. \n2. Cycle for pleasure – Ok 16km sounds like a terribly long way and you have just been running but you know what\, the relief you feel when you get on the bike is a great boost to the spirit. \nFor more information on bike choice for the Women’s Adventure Races go to our Race FAQs \n3. The kayak course is short and looped – You are never far from the shore and you will have a buddy in the kayak with you \nOnce again in 2017 – choose to do the ADVENTURE DUATHLON  and you will be skipping the kayak section but still completing a super challenge! \n4. You fit the profile of an adventure racer – Yes you do\, believe it or not. All you have to do is convince yourself. \n5. Most important reason: the life-changing reason – This is often different for everyone and at last year’s race we saw this reason on so many faces. \nNeed more convincing? Read our First Timers Blog and you will be there! \nRESULTS & REPORTS\n\nTrophies for 1st\, 2nd and 3rd place and free entry into next year’s race for 1st place. \nTrophy for 1st place in the Adventure Duathlon. \nTrophies for category winners (Vets & Super-Vets) \nAnd of course a whole heap of pride and glory!
