» Rat Race - Belfast:

Urban Adventure Racing is the hottest sport to test your limits of fitness, nerves, teamwork and stamina. Entering its fifth year, the Rat Race invites to its metropolitan playgrounds an eclectic mix of runners, mountain bikers, tri-athletes, extreme sport junkies, outdoor-types, alternative city-break tourists and adventure racers from around the world. The Rat Race is an international acclaimed physical and mental adventure challenge that uses the cityscape as its playground. Teams of two or three race in a multi-disciplined challenge of navigation, endurance, skills and guts. You will bike, hike, kayak, abseil and navigate your way around a course set in Belfast city that is only revealed hours before you begin, hunting for checkpoints and completing adventure challenges along the way. This event is designed for all level of ability. It's fast, fun and extremely entertaining. So why not challenge yourself in a number of different ways by joining in, this August 9th !

Belfast is the first Rat Race to be run in Ireland , and what better city to run it in. With its compact size, picturesque location between mountain and coast coupled with a fascinating history both modern and ancient, Belfast is a defiant city that has recently undergone an epic transformation into the beating heart of the vibrant, invigorated Northern Ireland . The scope for the Rat Race is untapped here and with the enthusiastic support of Belfast City Council and a team of excellent and knowledgeable local planners we are setting about throwing the doors open on an urban adventure like no other! Expect the unexpected as a team of Rat Race old hands and a selection of young and enthusiastic local planners liberate the adventure in Belfast city for the first truly international event in the Rat Race's calendar. Full entry details, training tips and full event information can be found at www.ratraceadventure.com or telephone the Rat Race Ireland office on 098 28324/ 098 28316.

» Update on Club Kit :
To all that have ordered the Club Kit. I have again been in touch with Spiuk UK. Who have come back with a date(they hope) that Spiuk Spain are sending kit to us. This is 20th June. I informed them we have a club outing on 27th and would be nice to get for this race if not we will be pulling out of the deal and seeking a full return of funds paid. I was also informed that if we do get the kit in time we will  be receiving some form of compensation. I'm still in process of working out what this would be. Fingers crossed and I'm sorry for the delay..... Reg
