Kerry Way 25k

mdlb

Just signed up to do the 25K version of the Kerry way race in July. Not sure if this race has been held before or if it is the first year of it.

Was wondering if anybody else is doing this or has done it before (if it has been held before)

Yes, I've done quite a few of their races. They're sound lads, and good race organisers. I've had good experiences in every one of their races that I've competed in.

Mod: moved from another thread

There's also a 55km, 25km and 15km run on the Kerry Way on the 6th July.

Seems like the finish is Sneem and participants will be bussed back to Blackwater, Dromquinna and the Gap of Dunloe depending on distance entered. Might do the 25km one, have run the Sneem Kenmare leg of the Kerry Way a couple of times and it is pretty stunning, takes you over hills with views over the bay, across open mountains, and down to the sea shore through a couple of miles of old woodland.

Put up a link to the Kerry Way Ultra on the FRA forum, hope they got a few enquiries from the UK.
