Castle Tri Virtual Race Series - Week 3
2020-05-22 08:00 - 2020-05-24 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.

Lough Cutra Castle Triathlon and Multisport Festival **Postponed**
2020-05-23 08:00 - 17:00 | Lough cutra, Galway, Ireland
This event has been postponed due to COVID19
Lough Cutra Castle in Gort is the backdrop to this action-packed weekend of triathlon racing in Gort, Co. Galway. This first race of the Castle Triathlon series in 2020 sets the scene for a competitive and fun series, hosted within the beautiful grounds of the Castle and surrounding area of stunning South Galway.
All of the triathlon races at Lough Cutra Castle kick-off by launching into an open-water swim in the lake, transitioning to the bike route which circumnavigates Lough Cutra itself with The Half Iron Gauntlet cycle taking in the beautiful and breathtaking Burren National Park whilst the run features a mixed terrain in the stunning surroundings of the Castle.
This year’s event promises to be an amazing festival of triathlon & multisport with events of various distances to test those chasing a personal best and embrace those who are dipping their toes into the sport of triathlon for the very first time.

Swim & Run Only

In 2018 we introduced our Castle Run Series and Castle Swim Series which saw swimmers and runners enjoy the fun of racing a single sport amidst the full-on atmosphere of a busy triathlon festival. In 2019 these events proved to be very popular and are expected to sell out in 2020.

Swim only events will be held once again with three swim only distances; 1 mile, 2.5km and 5km, suitable for those wishing to dip their toes into the sport of open water swimming or test their open water swim ability over a longer distance.
The 10k & Half Marathon participants can enjoy the fabulous estate at Lough Cutra Castle providing runners of all abilities with the opportunity to enjoy an off road, scenic and stunning course which has previously only been open to athletes participating in one of the triathlon events.
MultiSport in 2020
We introduced three new race formats in 2019 with options for both sprint and standard distances across all three events and w3ill once again offer them for 2020. These events offer athletes the opportunity to pick their strongest two disciplines and race in their preferred format across the following races:
Aquabike- Swim & Bike
Aquathlon Swim & Run
Duathlon – Run, Bike Run

There are a host of junior races on offer for the aspiring young athlete across the weekend so come with the family and fanclub, enjoy the racing and festival atmosphere regardless of age or ability and make Lough Cutra your destination race in 2020.

There is something for everyone at Lough Cutra Castle Triathlon & Multi-Sport festival in 2020, check out all the details on www.loughcutratri.ie. Follow us on Facebook HERE

Further along you have stunning views of the coastline stretching from Ballyheigue beach to Banna and Fenit with Blennerville Windmill in the distance. The first half of the course meanders gradually uphill before levelling out at the point of Kerryhead and then beginning a steeper decent back towards the village.

There are three water stations on the Half Marathon Route (at roughly the 3.5 mile, 7 mile and 10 mile markers). There are two toilet stops (At the two schools by the 2 mile and 10 miles markers).

Tour de Burren
2020-06-20 09:00 - 17:00 | Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare, The Pier, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare
GEARING UP FOR THE 16TH TOUR DE BURREN
The annual Tour de Burren will take place in the picturesque village of Ballyvaughan, County Clare located at the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way, on Saturday 20th June 2020.
It’s time to oil the brakes, pump up the wheels and get a few miles on the legs for the 16th annual Tour de Burren Cycle on June 20, 2020.
Truly a local event organised by the Burren Cycling Club, the cycle will bring 1,000 regular and would-be riders out into the beautiful landscape of the Burren National Park in County Clare. Can there be a better way to engage with our awe-inspiring scenery than to ride along the Wild Atlantic Way on two wheels? And with excellent signage on the route as well as an army of marshals, participants feel safe and relaxed so they enjoy the spin.

CYCLE ROUTES
Two main routes start in Ballyvaughan and bring cyclists through the Burren Geopark, past Fr Ted’s House and back home along the coast road which forms part of the Wild Atlantic Way. The Burning Burren 130km route starts at 9am, while the Burren Heart 100km route starts an hour later at 10am.
Both routes meet at Kilnaboy Community Hall for the famous food stop, which is worth the cycling effort to get there. Sandwiches including the famous brown bread and smoked salmon, cakes including strawberry cheesecake and apple tart, biscuits and endless supply of tea and coffee await the riders who’ll get to chat and compare stats (or aches). In fact, the Tour de Burren food stop is nearly as famous as the cycle itself… part of the Tour de Burren challenge lies in getting up on the bike after all the cheesecake.
And of course, we haven’t forgotten cycling families – the Family Loop takes off at 11am. We’re hoping to see more mini cyclists than ever on June 20.
ENTRY FEES
This year, we’re reducing the entry fee with a special early bird rate of €30 for the first 200 entries, €35 for the next 300 and €40 for the final 500 participants. So get in gear and sign up!
Along with the reduced entry fee, everybody receives a Tour de Burren beanie hat which they can pick up on signing in. Our beanies are sure to complement the Tour de Burren fashion collection which entrants have picked up over the years!
By the way, did we mention the whipped ’99 ice cream at the end of the cycle…

Ballybunion Half Marathon and 10km road race simultaneously caters to the most competitive of racers and the most casual of walkers, motivating every competitor to achieve their personal best.

In its place we are hosting a Virtual 10km on Saturday June 27th.
Whilst the postponement of the physical event is a disappointment we all share, we are still very determined to support the fantastic work the Ballybunion Sea & Cliff Rescue continue to do, as well as raise much needed funds to support the fantastic Frontline Medical Staff.
​The Virtual 10KM run will take place on Saturday 27th – and we hope you will be able to get out and support us in your own locality and you can log and share your own personal times here too.
All officially registered entrants (via eventmaster) to the virtual 10km will receive a medal and t-shirt. These will be sent out to all virtual registrants after the event.
We hope you can take part and look forward to you all sharing your times with us here on myrunresults.com
Thank you.
