KILLARNEY-BASED company Elite Event Management is poised to bring the first of its Quest Adventure Race series (previously Killarney Adventure Race) outside the Kingdom this Saturday to the famous heritage site of Glendalough in Ireland’s ancient east.
Excitement is mounting in Wicklow ahead of the inaugural Quest Glendalough, which promises to be another challenging and exciting event from the team at Elite Event Management.
There are three different routes to suit all levels of fitness: Mini 19km, Sport 41km and the Expert 57km, and all the routes showcase the unspoilt beauty of Wicklow.
The event has attracted over 1000 adventure enthusiasts from all over the country, and was already a sold-out event three months in advance. There will also be a large Kerry contingent travelling to Wicklow this weekend to take part in the race.
The Phil Cawley Show on Today FM will be broadcasting live from the Glendalough Hotel on the morning of the race, so be sure to tune in as there will be competitions, spot prizes, music and chat.
Event organiser Oliver Kirwan said “We are very excited to bring our very successful adventure race model to different parts of Ireland.”
If you missed out on registering for Quest Glendalough, don’t worry as there are two more Quest Adventure Races this year – Quest Achill on September 3 and Quest Killarney on October 1.
