It involves 15km of kayaking,166k of cycling, 5km of mountain running and 64km of road and trail running.The Race is held in early March to increase the chances of challenging weather. It is billed as Irelands toughest endurance event.The Race is a not for profit event, all proceeds from the event goes to Gorta/Self Help Africa. Gorta-SelfHelp Africa is an especially vibrant and worthwhile organisation. They work with rural communities to improve their farms and their livelihood. Their mission is to empower rural Africa to achieve economic independence.
