The inaugural Westport Sea2Summit adventure race is designed to suit all levels of fitness and interests with a mix of road running, cycling, and a mountain hike, including the challenging terrain of Croagh Patrick with the backdrop of Clew Bay. It will finish with a short sea run and small obstacle challenge before arriving at the Fairgreen. This challenge offers participants a choice of two routes; the supreme event which offers all of the intensity of the ultimate adventure race, or the spirit event which will certainly appeal to those of relative fitness yet wanting to challenge themselves and push their personal fitness levels. The supreme relay event will take place over the same route and at the same time as the solo supreme race. Teams will be of three people and they will share the disciplines in whatever way they wish.
Padraig Marrey, overall winner of both the Gael Force and the Achill Roar adventure races, is race director for the Sea2Summit event, bringing his expertise and knowledge to the event. “So far interest in the S2S has been overwhelming with places for both races filling up fast. Natives of Westport town to athletes across Ireland have already signed up. Plans are already under way to ensure Sea2Summit becomes an inaugural event for Westport and is certainly a date to mark in your diary,” explains Marrey. The event will take place on Saturday November 12. An unforgettable experience is guaranteed for each and every contestant.
