The Event
The Achill 5K beach race is run entirely on the beach at Keel Strand, Achill Island. This Blue flag beach is famous for its stunning views, clean clear water, and variety of water and beach sports, from surfing to kite buggying. The route will follow an out and back format crossing a small stream mid way, so you could get your toes wet. On completing the race you will be presented with a finisher’s medal and refreshments.
There will also be post race banter in the Annex Bar, Keel.
