Don’t miss this. Richie Felle told us it’s his favourite race (probably because he keeps winning it!). He’s going for 3-in-a-row this year. If you fancy your chances against Richie take decisive action and sign up today. Even if you don’t fancy your chances in such exalted company, sign up anyway. Our race course is some of the most fun you’ll have all year. Plus, we’ll have the full range of NPS categories so it’s a great chance to see who you’ll be racing against for the season. Look forward to seeing everyone on the 25th March.

Hi guys, just wondering how long the coarse is I am only getting back into mountain biking after 20 years but I am not fit enough. I was in Kilbranish two weeks ago, nearly had a heart attack going uphill and went flat out back down. I am 43 going on 16 and would love to get more involved in mountain biking. Any help would be great.
Hi Noel. Not gonna lie, this is a tough race course. Not for complete beginners, and you will need some degree of fitness. Total lap length will be somewhere around 4.5km with a fair bit of technical singletrack. Sounds like you would be an S4 rider so you’d be doing 2 laps. Suggest you check out Offroad Cycling site for lots of useful racing info, and definitely recommend doing one of the Biking Blitz races if you can beforehand. Drop us an email if you have any further queries. Cheers, R795
Thanks very much for the info, it is great help. I am going to keep training and stretch those lungs and god willing i will see you soon. All the best Noel.
Hi,
could you please describe the course, any climbing or flat?
what’s the course condition in? do we have a lot of mud or it’s rain proof?
hello, the course is certainly not flat! Fairly typical Irish mtb course, climbs are not steep, singletrack is technical. Lap is 4.5km long. Course is always in good condition, takes the rain well, but expect mud – it’s Ireland, it’s March and it’s a forest…Cheers R795
