Gaelforce West

Gaelforce West is an outdoor adventure event held in Connemara with races that combine multiple disciplines and mountain terrain. The event began in 2006 and has attracted thousands of competitors over more than two decades.

The event offers two race options:

• 68 km of running, cycling and kayaking across Connemara, including the summit of Croagh Patrick and a route finishing in Westport.
• 34 km of running and cycling from Westport that includes the shoulder of Croagh Patrick before returning to the same finish area.

The route descriptions reference notable local features such as Croagh Patrick and Killary Fjord. The event date listed is 12.06.2027. The races use mixed terrain and require participants to move between disciplines during the course. The shorter course omits the kayaking section that is part of the longer route.

Information emphasizes distance, terrain and the presence of a common finish line in Westport. Details such as entry procedures, exact course maps, aid stations or timing are not included here. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
