Donegal

Hugging the Northwest Atlantic coast, Donegal proved the ideal location for an event that sought to blend difficulty and beauty.

Each stage of The Race reveals a truly epic course. The deep waters of Lough Swilly where the ocean carves its way inland flank the stunning Fanad Drive. The Atlantic Drive and Bloody Foreland stand resolutely against the Atlantic swell. Glenveagh National Park’s vast expanses spread from Gartan Lake to Muckish Mountain. Competitors and their supporters will get to explore some of the most unique and spectacular landscape in the world whilst experiencing one of the world’s toughest events.

Accommodation

As part of preparation for The Race 2015 we will be teaming up with hotels and restaurants in the area to provide a memorable experience for both the competitors and their families and friends. Visit this page regularly to see the latest offers available exclusively to competitors and their supporters.
