SUMMARY:Off The Bloom
DESCRIPTION:On the 12th of August this year\, Offaly will host its first multi-sport adventure race. Set in the picturesque village of Kinnitty at the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains\, the splendid grounds of the renowned Kinnitty Castle will provide the backdrop to the start and finish of the inaugural Off The Bloom Adventure Race. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the course of the race\, competitors will take in the breath taking views of the Irish midlands while hiking/running\, kayaking and biking their way through the natural peat-lands bogs and rolling mountain ranges of the Slieve Blooms mountains.\nWe have no doubt the Adventure Race will be a great success and more importantly will enhance and promote Kinnitty as an adventure tourist destination in mid Ireland. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Off the Bloom Adventure Race registration is now open\, please feel free to have a look at our website or our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/OfftheBloom/ \n\n\n\nThere are 2 categories\n\nSports 35Km\nElite 65Km\n\nSports 35KM category\n\n300 metre run \n23 km Cycle\n5 km Mountain Run\n6.5 km Cycle\n300 meter run\nThe iconic Kinnitty Castle is the perfect setting to kick start your Off the Bloom Adventure Race.

SUMMARY:Gaelforce - Womens Adventure Race Wicklow
DESCRIPTION:WOMEN’S ADV RACE WICKLOW 19 AUGUST 2017\n\n\n\n\nSORRY LADS. THIS ONE IS ALSO JUST FOR THE LADIES.\nFEEL LIKE A SECOND CHANCE?\nDid you take the July women’s race in Galway by storm and you want that feeling back again? Or maybe you missed that one and really want the chance to show how amazing you are? Then this is the one. \nCREATED BY WOMEN\nWe are the Gaelforce women and we have created this race for us and for you. It is no less of a challenge and therefore no less of an achievement than our other races. \nTHE MEN\nHmmm…cheerleaders\, child-minders\, handbag-holders for the day. Yes that will do. \nADVENTURE DUATHLON – 24KM\nSTAY ON DRY LAND! Same magnificent course\, just without the kayak section. \nSEE IT THROUGH TO THE FINISH. WE ARE STRONG WOMEN.\nTHE BREAKDOWN OF DISCIPLINE DISTANCES WITHIN THE TOTAL 24.5KM COURSE:\n1. Running/walking: 10km approx      2. Cycling: 14km approx       3. Kayaking: 0.5km max \n\nTHE DETAILED BREAKDOWN:\n\n\n\n\nSTAGE 1: RUN (LESS THAN 10KM!)\nThe first run begins at the bike transition (bike drop) at the Upper Dam on the Upper Reservoir. It then continues south along the path to Waters Bridge. You will then join the path around the Lower Reservoir making your way in a loop back to Waters Bridge and back to the Upper Reservoir where the kayaking will take place. The lakeside paths (the majority of the run) are flanked by trees and the terrain consists of woodland trails but they are rough in places and watch out for brambles. The run is quite flat and very pretty with fantastic views across the water in all directions. \nSTAGE 2: KAYAK (0.5KM)\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 water. You will kayak approximately 0.5km in a looped course in the Upper Reservoir. \nSTAGE 3: CYCLE (14KM)\nThe cycle follows the roads outside the reservoir. It starts with a short stretch on the R765 before turning right along the east side of the lower reservoir. It then joins the R764\, turning right at Ballyduff cross roads. Two more right turns bring the route back to Roundwood and into the final bike drop at the Roundwood AFC. The cycle is mostly along quiet country roads and has a slight elevation. For information on what bike to use read our FAQ section. \nSTAGE 4: RUN (0.25KM)\nCompetitors will run the last short stretch from the bike drop to the finish line in Roundwood AFC. \nADVENTURE DUATHLON – 24KM\nThe course is the same as above\, just without the kayak section. \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        August 11 2017 \n€60.00pp      On the day    August 19 2017 (cash only) \nAll online prices shown exclude €4.50 booking fee. \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 2017). \nPLEASE NOTE\nOnline entry closes at 15:00 on Friday 18 August 2017 \nYou must be over 18 years of age on the day of the race to enter. \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 – Ha! We know you would hardly get out of bed for any less… \n2. Cycle for pleasure – ok 14km sounds like a terribly long way and you have just been running but you know what\, with lots of friendly faces and pretty scenery around you\, you will hardly notice. \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 – so you are never far from the shore\, you will have a buddy in the kayak with you and there is lots of safety cover. \nAgain 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. Check out our media gallery to see that our entrants include every woman. \n5. Most important reason: the life-changing reason – Do it for yourself or for someone else; do it to celebrate\, to remember or to forget. \nStill not convinced? Read our First Timer Blog and you will be signing up before you know it! \nSPECTATOR INFO\n\nHere are the best locations to view competitors from: \n\n\n\n\n\nFinish line at Roundwood AFC\nKayaking section and bike transition at the Upper Varty Resrvoir\n\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!
