The Race is a 250 km unsupported endurance event across the rugged landscape of North West Donegal.

To finish competitors have to complete 15km of kayaking, 166km of cycling, 5km of mountain running and 64km of road and trail running. Crucially, they must complete all this in under 24 hours. It is aimed at providing the ultimate 24 hour test of endurance

The Race is a not for profit event with all proceeds going towards the work of Self Help Africa. It is organised by Sand2Snow Adventures and Gartan Outdoor Education Center.

I have all entry fees paid in advance so all funds raised will go straight to the charity - there is the distinct possibility of extreme mental and physical hardship on the day!
