Celtic Traverse 19th – 26th June 2016

An Epic Running Adventure Across Ireland

Introduction to The Celtic Traverse 2016


The 2016 Celtic Traverse is an iconic, six day, running tour across Ireland. By day participants will run through some of the most remote parts of Ireland, in the evenings you will enjoy the fantastic hospitality that Ireland has to offer and by night you will stay in great accommodation.

Planned and staged by one of Ireland’s premier events companies, Primal Challenges (www.primalchallenges.com), we will ensure that your journey across Ireland will take you to places where few Irish people have even ventured. Expect deserted trails, breathtaking scenery and some of the best trails you have ever run across.

This is truly an adventure of a lifetime, on foot, across Ireland and one certainly not to be missed.

Whats NOT included


Not included in your entry fee are:-

 

  • Accommodation upgrades. We have chosen top class accommodation and feel that there is no need to upgrade. However should you wish to upgrade to single occupancy this can be done upon arrival at each accommodation provider and is subject to availability.

 

  • Evening meals are not included. Different people like to eat at different times in the evening and we will leave this to yourselves. We will however make recommendations for suitable restaurants if asked.

 

  • Energy gels and energy drinks. These are too person specific and to drink a different one than you are used to can cause upset stomachs and cramping. We will however have some stock of energy gels should anyone want to purchase some.
