You'll want to arrive by early afternoon so you can check-in to our first hotel (from 4pm). We will meet as a group at our hotel and then head to to a local restaurant to get to know each other over appetizers, drinks and dinner. We will also be giving a welcome presentation to make sure you are informed for our week of adventures ahead!

Good morning to the cliffs of Ireland! Our first race is a marvelous introduction to the lush beauty of coastal Ireland. After getting the salty wind in our hair, we'll drive west to Mount Falcon Estate, where we'll explore the beautiful grounds of Mount Falcon Estate and relax in the hotel spa. We'll end the day with dinner at a nearby castle to enjoy locale fare and learn stories of the surprising history of the site.

Wake up your taste buds to a delicious wholesome breakfast before we get on the bus to travel along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way to discover Carrowteige, one of the most spectacular undiscovered coastal trails in Ireland. It’s a feast for the eyes, with golden sandy beaches, rugged cliffs jutting into the Atlantic, and of course lots of friendly sheep. After we run, we'll grab lunch and a beer at a local pub in town!

On our drive back to town we will stop at Downpatrick Head. The stone-walled fields, extending over hundreds of hectares, are the oldest known globally, dating back almost 6,000 years. They are covered by a natural blanket bog with its own unique vegetation and wildlife. Where we will also see Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery, Ireland's most impressive cluster of ancient stone tombs. 

We're on the move today, stopping by several landmarks throughout the day and enjoying time on the rugged mountains and sea cliffs that mark Achill Island. We'll get to explore the coast of Ireland in it's wild beauty and see the port towns nestled into the countryside. Our run brings this morning brings us to an abbey.

The afternoon brings lunch and an opportunity to try our hands at traditional sports like falconry, archery, and clay shooting on the Mount Falcon Estate grounds.

Dinner & free time on your own.

We're taking a ferry to Clare Island for today's run! This storied island has a rich history of castles, pirates, and the Spanish Armada. We'll end the run on a sandy beach and grab lunch at the Sailor's Bar.

What better way to spend the day than with local stories and sports by the shores? We'll stay on the island for the day, dip into the sea, immerse deeper into the Irish islander's way of life or learn how to play 'Gaelic football'.

Today we're heading out to the Famine Trail of Ireland's only fjord - Killary Fjord. This race brings us under the shadow of the majestic Mweelrea mountains.

Today's activity will have you yipping for more - we'll experience a sheepdog show and soak up the culture of Irish fishing communities. 

Next, it's off to Galway! One of the most unique areas of Ireland, this area is a true gem of rich history where music spills from pubs, traditional crafts like wool knit sweaters are made, and cobbled streets invite you to lose yourself in this beautiful city!

Dinner & free time on your own.

Well, we've made it to a true treasure of the Irish Isles. Let's celebrate an incredible adventure by running the Cliffs of Moher, iconic sea cliffs that have inspired travelers, geologists, and artists for generations. This UNESCO Global Geopark is a protected area and haven for puffins, falcons, and other seabirds that call the coast home.

We'll finish the day by returning to the Dublin area and have a free afternoon to relax, enjoy the seaside town or Malahide or hotel spa, and reflect on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
