NO REGRETS.
That’s the slogan for the upcoming Killary GaelForce North event, which returns to Donegal’s shores on June 25.
[adrotate group=”67″]It’s a race through the hills of Glenveagh National Park and then on to mount Errigal. After summiting Errigal it is then on through the Coillte forest to finish line on the beach in Bunbeg, Gweedore. ‘
Here’s an outline …
It is unsupported, which means you must bring with you from the start everything you are going to need along the way. This includes food, gear, bicycle repair kit and spare clothing. This adds to the sense of adventure!
And you can be part of it. Last year, some 390 took part in the event. And this year there’s a variety of options available for those who are interested. There’s 39 days to go.
“Journey through the unspoilt splendour of hidden Donegal. Explore deep valleys, winding trails, beautiful white sand beaches and breathe in the vast open spaces”
Here’s what you can expect …
