Each finisher will receive a cool bespoke medal (to be revealed soon) and both the half and 10km participants will receive a training top. There are Early Bird prices to the end of July. Half marathon is €30 and the 10km is €20. The important bit to tell ye is that this race has an entry limit. We are only accepting 500 for the 10km. Don’t leave it too late.
Prices are now €33 for the Half and €25 for the 10k
This race is for everyone with an allergy to hills! There will be pacers for the half marathon so you can test yourself to stay with them and (hopefully) achieve your PB time.

Castle Tri Virtual Race Series - Week 1
2020-04-24 08:00 - 2020-04-26 17:00 | Online, Ireland
In these unprecedented times when we all need to stay at home to protect ourselves and society at large, The Castle Series who host Lough Cutra Castle Triathlon in Galway have launched their inaugural virtual race series for all ages and abilities. All to keep as many people as possible connected, fit and sane in this period of unprecedented lockdown, and to raise as much money as possible for their charity partner Macmillan Cancer Support.
Following the success of their Easter Virtual Challenge, the Castle Virtual Series will run three events, across three weekends in April and May, with three country themes to mirror their summer programme of European events. Whether you’re 8 or 88 there is a race for you. All competitors are welcome to race virtually with The Castle Series community from within the boundaries of your home and immediate surroundings.
The Virtual Series will celebrate the host countries of the Castle Triathlon Series events across France, UK and Ireland. You can sign up to one, two or all three events.

24th – 26th April Vive La France
8th – 10th May VE Day 75th Anniversary
22nd – 24th May Luck of the Irish

Choose from 7 different run/bike/run duathlon options and three running distances. Track your progress throughout each weekend on our leader board and tune in for the live prize-giving ceremony on Facebook.

Prizes will be awarded for gender winners in each age and distance category and special awards will be provided for the most creative course design and best dressed.

To create a truly community event, they are asking all participants to carry out their challenge over the event weekends making the most of the space and time you have to exercise in a safe but competitive environment.
Giving Back

The Castle Virtual Series will donate 20% of each race entry fee to their long-term charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support. This will help Macmillan Cancer Support continue to deliver their physical, emotional and financial support to help people with cancer and their families.

The Big Rugby Run
2020-05-09 10:00 - 17:00 | Online, Ireland
#TheBigRugbyRun, a new exciting virtual team relay challenge event being held on Saturday 9th May and targeting the Irish grassroots rugby community, launched online at www.thebigrugbyrun.com.
The initiative, the brainchild of PSA Academies Directors Graham Ross & Johne Murphy, is looking to raise significant funds for Feed The Heroes (www.feedtheheroes.com), as they continue to #fuelthefrontline fighting the battle against COVID-19 across Ireland.
#TheBigRugbyRun will involve current or past rugby teams, from Minis Under 10s age group up to retired veterans, registering to run or walk a virtual relay over the half marathon (21km) or full marathon (42km) distance, whilst still observing the Government guidelines regarding social distancing and staying within 2kms of home. Each team will be set the challenge of raising a minimum of €50 for Feed The Heroes, with all underage teams participating going into a free-to-enter post-event Grand Prize Draw to win prizes from some leading sports and other brands.
Ex-Munster player and Newbridge College SCT Head Coach Johne Murphy said “We’re delighted to launch #TheBigRugbyRun and hope that it gives young and older rugby teams and people from across the country an ideal opportunity to get back in touch with each other, commit to a physical challenge and raise money for a fantastic cause. We’re all missing the usual end-of-season excitement now more than ever but hopefully #TheBigRugbyRun can help to mark the end of season with something unique and fitting for the times that we’re in. We’re excited to be extending our support of Feed The Heroes through this event and are hoping #TheBigRugbyRun will help raise more money for the fund.”
