Following the success of the inaugural race last year, the second edition of the Donegal Atlantic Way Ultra Race will take place this June 23rd with a large entry already signed up.
The ultra cycle, which follows 555km of the Wild Atlantic Way around the entire county of Donegal, is open to solo riders and team combinations of two, four and eight.
The race head quarters will again be at the Mount Errigal Hotel in Letterkenny, where the competitors will depart for Inishowen, travelling anticlockwise towards Malin head and over Mamore Gap before returning to Letterkenny via Buncrana.
The race will then follow the Wild Atlantic Way in a southerly direction taking in Knockalla, Fanad Head, Atlantic Drive, Hornhead, Carrickfin, Glengesh Pass, Sliabh League and Barnesmore Gap before finishing in Letterkenny.
With an ever increasing number of events taking place in the county, this is a unique challenge and will test the most hardened endurance racers. Last years event was a massive success, with cyclists of all abilities taking on the endurance challenge and race organisers Shaun Stewart and Sean Mc Fadden are delighted with the huge interest in this years event.
With a maximum number of entries allowed, the start roster is almost full and registration will close on Thursday 16th February, online entry can be completed at www.donegalatlanticwayultra.com and on Facebook.
