The Beer Barrel Run

The Lacken Beer Barrel Run will take place on 22nd June in the beautiful North Mayo coastal village of Kilcummin, Lacken. Teams of eight must somehow carry a 72kg beer barrel along a (literally) breath-taking 8.5km coastal route. There’s one rule, the barrel must not touch the ground!
Kilcummin is best known as the scene of the famous landing in 1798 of the French General Humbert as well as its vast golden strand, rolling sand dunes and lush green fields, located on the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way in Co. Mayo. Now the local community wants to make it synonymous with one of the most demanding adventure races in Ireland.
It is up to the competitors how they carry their barrel. Only stipulations are that the carrying device must not have wheels, and your barrel must be secured to it.
This fundraising event – the first of its kind in Ireland – will take place on Saturday, June 22 at 2pm, supported by Marc Reilly, partner of J. Streicher, and will raise funds for Samaritans Ireland. Entry costs €100 for a team of 8.
For an entry form, call Chairperson, Lacken Enterprise Centre: Tony Robinson 087 9900757.

The Kennedy Challenge
2019-06-22 16:00 - 20:00
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!
