Cavan Kayakarun takes place this month

The 12th edition of the Cavan Kayakarun takes place on Saturday August 12, starting at 12 noon from Gallonray House, Maudabawn.

The race will follow the same route as last year, starting with a 4k run from Gallonray House and coming back to there. Competitors will then transition to their bikes and head out on a 16k cycle which will take them to Barnagrow Lake. There they will swop their bikes for kayaks and take to the water for a 1.5k row.

Back on dry land its on the bikes again for an 18k cycle which will bring them back to Gallonray House to complete the final hurdle, a 4k run on the same course as the starting loop.

A challenging and testing course, but as shown in past events of the race, its achievable for all levels of competitor, with the biggest prize for most, to go the distance and cross the finish line. As always there are options to enter as a team as well as individual.
