Gruelling Waterfront Adventure Race around Cork Harbour set to launch

A gruelling new multi-sport adventure race in and around Cork Harbour which includes a kayak to Spike Island will be staged next month.

The first Cork WAR (Waterfront Adventure Race) event will test competitors’ stamina to the limits, with cycling, running, kayaking, obstacle courses and adventure trails, through underground tunnels and historic forts.

Organiser Peter Conway said it was an adventure race like no other. “We are delighted to partner with Console Suicide Awareness to encourage people to get out and be active,” he said.
