Annual Adventure Race event consisting of a 5km run, 20km cycle and a 1.5km kayak in the Lee Valley, Ballingeary, Cork on 30th September 2023.
Éalú Lua Adventure Race takes place on and around beautiful Locha Lua on the river Lee, between Béal Átha’n Ghaorthaidh and Inchigeela. It consists of a 5km run, a 20km cycle and a 1.5km kayak. It’s a great event for participants of all abilities.
Event Breakdown:
The Adventure Race gets its name from the mythical serpert, "Lua" banished from Gougane Barra by St. Finbarr. Lua stopped to rest between Ballingeary and Inchigeela creating depressions in the land that subsequently filled with water to create the lakes, "Locha Lua".
This is a community event, organised and operated by a group of volunteers.
