The Kennedy Challenge
2019-06-22 16:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Dublin)
This is the second year of this event which received really positive feedback last year. This event is run by a local GAA club. Moneys raised are being put towards developing a track around the pitches at the club which will be available all year for walkers/runners.
Both routes on The Kennedy Challenge follow wonderfully scenic courses. The run starts at Horeswood GAA pitch. From the pitch you turn right and run towards Whitechurch village where the 6k route will be directed left and run back to the pitch . The 12k route takes you straight at Whitechurch village turning toward Dunganstown where you will run through the JFK Kennedy homestead, the ancestral home of John F Kennedy American President (The first water station is here also). After this you will continue though the countryside re-joining the 6 k route ( and another water station) and back to the pitch.
Marshals will direct you at each point and we have kilometre markers. To be honest the route is undulating! There are some hills but we hope that the our scenery will help! Based on very positive feedback from our walkers last year this year we are actively encouraging 12k walkers and to ‘Hike to the Homestead’ on the day as well.
A 4k under 16 run also takes place on the day. For this event we are escorting the U16 entrants to a alternate start point in Whitechurch and letting then run from there. Alternatively Under 16 s are welcome to walk the 6k course.
We have staggered start times so that we will finish more or less at the same time so that everyone gets the great atmosphere at the end of the race. We will have refreshments at the finish as well as prizegiving. Prizes for 1st and 2nd male and female in all races with cash prizes for 1st and 2nd in the 12k . We hope to see you on the day!

The Warriors Run
2019-08-24 15:00 - 17:00 | Strandhill, Co. Sligo, Strandhill, Sligo, Ireland
Welcome to Strandhill, Co. Sligo home of The Warriors Run, one of Ireland’s toughest competitive races.
Strandhill Village is 8 kilometres west of Sligo town, situated on the Atlantic seaboard and nestled at the foot of Knocknarea Mountain. On its summit (1,070 ft), sits a megalithic cairn where Maeve the legendary Queen of Connaught is reputedly buried.
Each year runners from all over Ireland (and various parts of the world) converge on Strandhill to follow in the footsteps of her ancient warriors.
The Warriors Run takes competitors from the Cannon Gun at the beachfront in Strandhill to the top of Knocknarea, around Queen Maeve’s Cairn and back to the beachfront again. For the uninitiated, a 15 Kilometre race might seem easy. Not the Warriors Run! The race is classified as a road and hill race or multi-terrained, so whilst approximately nine of its kilometres are on paved roads, it is the special six kilometres in the middle, to the top of Knocknarea that gives the race its bite. These six kilometres include a 700 foot climb through fields, loose gravel, unsurfaced and heather paths. At its steepest incline on the way up, even the most professional athlete slows to a walk and then brace themselves to face the equally daunting downhill run, back down the often slippery slopes, even in the driest of weather.
Despite the endurance trait of the race, each year around 1000 runners take part in this unique event to cross the finish line at the beachfront and earn the honour of being able to say that they completed The Warriors Run.

12 Days of Christmas Challenge
2019-12-01 08:00 - 2019-12-25 17:00
The 12 Days of Christmas Challenge is back for 2019!
Christmas is fast approaching and with it the many party invitations and distracting opportunities to let your fitness decrease and your waistline increase during the silly season. But fear not, if you need some inspiration, motivation or just some accountability to get you moving this December you can sign up now to the Tri Talking Sport 12 Days of Christmas Challenge.
The concept is a simple one, commit to completing 12 hours of physical activity over the festive period from December 1st– 25th. Ideally this would be one hour of activity per day for 12 days, however, this is more about challenge completion than competition so participants can decide to complete the challenge over a variety of durations from 30 minutes to 2 hour sessions.
Participants can select any form of physical activity of choice; yoga, pilates, running, swimming, cycling, walking, hiking, jogging, gym class or any other activity that gets you moving, puts a smile on your face and gets the blood rushing through your veins. This is a fun challenge to encourage people to get moving over the festive period. With so much going on, as always in the lead up to Christmas, there are plenty of excuses and reasons not to stay motivated to exercise over the next few weeks. This challenge provides the incentive to get an hour of exercise completed on at least 12 days between now and Christmas Day, taking time out to enjoy the session either on your own or with fellow challengers.
The reward for the challenge is in the completion and personal satisfaction, however there will be a number of presents and treats up for grabs from Santa’s Sleigh as an incentive for participants to engage in the challenge fully. Register for the challenge HERE

Irish trail Races are delighted to bring you our annual Sugar Loaf 10km, the race you all love (to hate!). With great views, a top route and technical varied trails, what’s not to love. It’s a fantastic route around this iconic mountain.
This is a great race to start your New Year race calendar!!
This race normally sells out so we may not have availability on the morning of the race.
Our route is full marked and very easy to follow. The race is timed and there are prizes for 1st/2nd male and female.
Trail shoes and rain jacket are essential.
