YOUR JOURNEY
This west coast route is Ireland’s equivalent of LEJOG. Making your way from the most southerly point this trip offers rugged yet spectacular views throughout. Highlights are the beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way, the mountains of Kerry and the (virtual) warmth of a Galway pub. Onward through the lunar-like landscape of the Burren, the mountain range views through the Connemara National Park to the giant Sea Loughs of the Inishowen Peninsula. Your journey ends at the rocky promontory of Malin Head at the Emerald Isle’s most northerly point. Reach here in 1-3 months and you deserve a refreshing pint (or 2) of the black stuff!!
To get the most from your journey use Strava to sync any bike ride, walk or run with the event map. You can also track yourself, your team and others during the event. See your virtual surroundings on Google Street View at the start and finish of each bout of exercise. Share your activity with friends and challenge them to join in. Complete each ride, run or walk in a place and at a pace that suits you. And why not use this opportunity to up your game and cover some miles with active commuting?
REWARDS
It’s vital that our challenges are ecologically sound.
For this reason, we don’t supply T-shirts, goody bags or imported medals. Instead we will:
- Plant a tree in your name in the UK through our partnership with Trees Not Tees.
- (Learn about Trees Not Tees on our Impact page)
- Provide a year’s supply of clean drinking water for a child in Eswatini through our partnership with Thirst Project. (Read about Thirst Project on our Impact page)
- Create a unique wooden finisher medal (made in the UK and sent when you complete the mission)
- Supply quality perks from sports, health, fitness and eco brands at various times from registration through to the finish line.
SUPPORT A CAUSE
We’ve made it easy to combine your activity with supporting a cause close to your heart. Simply set-up a JustGiving fundraising page and sync to your Strava account with just a couple of clicks. It’s the smart way to support one of over 25,000 global charities.
