Event Name: Race the Tide 2017 

Ran this race in 2016 and 2017, can highly recommend! The race takes you through some stunning scenery and makes use of the natural environment for some innovative obstacles. Feels like a community coming together at this race, with the evening ceilidh and included camping just adding to it all. The race itself is tough, fell terrain. You will have earned your meal by the end of it, for sure!


Beautiful location, great atmosphere
