Stone Mad Ultra - 13/14 July

Multi Stage Marathon- Are you fit enough?

Athy will welcome participants to the country's first 'Stone Mad Ultra' multi stage marathon on Saturday, 13th July next. STONE MAD brings an exciting NEW race format to Ireland. It is a two day multi-stage marathon. Run, jog or walk!

You can participate on one or both days. There is an option for an over-night stay on Saturday between stages. Unlike any other race in Ireland, you can build your own race! Choose the number of days and the distance you want to race. 

Starting in Athy on Day 1, the route meanders alongside the beautiful river Barrow on it's journey through villages, fields and countryside to Carlow. The way is flat, with gentle off-road terrain. In Kilkenny, on Day 2 the going gets tougher as the route climbs Mount Leinster, passing the historic nine stones. 

Join participants and show your support along the route. Check details at http://www.stonemadultra.com/  Locally, the event is being supported by the Athy Town Promoters Group, Athy Town Council and Kildare's Outdoor Tourism Project.
