The Altan Adventure Race Committee have taken the decision to cancel Altan Adventure Race 2022.

Uncertainties over event planning owing to Covid-19 are the reason for the cancellation of this year's race. Although all Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted it has left us with little time to ensure that we could plan and provide a safe event for all participants involved. We owe a duty of care to all of our participants, volunteers and supporters.

We appreciate your understanding and we will be back in 2023 with a bigger and better event for you all.

Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages for further news on our 2023 race.

We want to wish our Altán committee member Caitlín a very happy birthday. We'll not mention any numbers, let's just say it's a big one and that she's catching up on James and Manus 🤣🤣. She's not the oldest member in the committee but she's probably the fittest so if you see her out running🏃‍♂️, cycling🚴‍♂️ or even in the sea swimming🏊‍♂️ give her a beep or a wave. Have a great day Caitlín and we'll all celebrate soon. 🎂🥂👍🎉

Altán Committee members Christine & Caitlín carried out a recce of the Altán Sprint route this morning!! It is by no means an easy course 😅 and we have the utmost respect for every single competitor who completed it last year!! Those views though👌 Hopefully we'll be back again in 2021 with another fantastic event but until then everyone stay safe and keep up with the training!!
P.S The men on the committee will be doing a recce of the full course soon(they all slept in this morning)🤔and we look forward to their update!!😂 Shaun Kevin Pat Ciaran Ciaran Manus James!!

!!! ALTÁN ADVENTURE RACE 2020 CANCELLATION!!!

With much sadness and regret, the Committee of Altán Adventure Race has agreed that Altán 2020 must be cancelled. We have also ruled out the possibility of staging the event at a future date this year.

We have taken this decision after much deliberation, and after as thorough an evaluation that we have been able to conduct since the COVID-19 outbreak started to have an impact on normal life. In so doing we have considered a number of factors, mainly being, Government guidance, in particular stricter travel restrictions, and social distancing requirements. Our highest concerns have been the health and safety of all those involved in the staging and running of this event , as well as wider public health and our role in the community's efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, the committee are agreed that this is the right decision for our volunteers, competitors, spectators, and stewards.

We all know and cherish the fact that our Inaugural Altán Adventure Race in 2019 was first and foremost a community event, and we depend so much on the help and support of our community to make future Altán Adventure Races the same success that the Inaugural event was.

We appreciate that the cancellation of Altán Adventure Race will come as a huge disappointment to many involved in the sport, especially those whose season had been planned around the event, and particularly given that event after event has been cancelled already this year. However, no matter how passionate we are, we are also mindful that there are now more significant issues at stake than the staging of sporting events. In this context, it is our hope that all concerned will understand and respect our decision.

We would also like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere appreciation to all of our sponsors, without whom Altán 2019 would not be possible, and we look forward to working with you all again next year. We also ask that you all support these local businesses now more than ever and invest in our local community.

We encourage you all to adhere to Government requirements on social distancing and guidance on good hygiene, and hope that by 2021 we are safely able, once again, to stage yet another successful Altán event.

*** REFUND OPTIONS***
1. Transfer to Altán 2021 – Date to be confirmed
2. Receive a refund

If you would like to transfer to Altán 2021 event then you do not need to do anything, your entry will be automatically transferred across.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh!!
