The Cavan Kayakarun has devloped into a fabulous active fun outing for the whole family which provides excellent organisation, a warm local welcome, magnificent location and a great value for money event. . This year there are two Kayakarun races available, The Challenge and The Challenge X,, see below. There is an interactive juggling and circus skills workshop for the kids, (see artscope.ie for full details) bouncing castles and side shows. After all the hard work is done the committee invite participants and friends to hang about for the delicious and nutritious buffet, perhaps even a few bevvys! prize giving and the brilliant after event and late night party.
The Challenge The Challenge starts with a 5k run/walk over some very hilly scenic drumlins followed by a 1k kayak on Barnagrow lake and finishing with a 15k cycle back to base. Whether you are an experienced athlete looking for a serious sprint challenge or a total beginner looking for a bit of active ‘craic’ then you will not want to miss this event. The race is open to individuals or if you feel that all three sections are too much… why not enter a relay team of three to share the load? The Challenge XL We are adding a new, more challenging event for the Elite athletes and those who wish to challenge themselves that little bit more. The Challenge XL starts with a 5k run, followed by a 2k kayak, and concluding with a gruelling 50k cycle, which traverses one of the highest and toughest climbs in east Cavan. D’ont forget that entries received before July 31st will automatically qualify for entry into a draw for a Kayakarun polo T-shirt.

This is a family fun and active day with something for everybody so come to Maudabawn, Cootehill Co Cavan on August 11th and make it a weekend to remember for all the family.
