Ballyhoura MTB

CelticXtreme is Irelands 1st multi stage adventure mountain bike race.

Racing will take place over a 6 day period, with each stage inflicting the ultimate in mountain biking pain & pleasure. Race across a landscape steeped in mythology, through ancient forests, past medieval castles, forts & monasteries – the breathtaking scenery of the West of Ireland will unfold around you as you lose yourself in the sweet singletrack & blast down rocky downhills.

Racing begins on the acclaimed flowing single track of Coillte’s Ballyhoura Mountain Park, these trails were designed & built by trail building pioneer Daffyd Davis… The route then wends its way Southwards stopping in Mallow overnight & briefly following Lance Armstrong’s tracks in the 2009 Tour of Ireland, before launching into the rugged valleys & forests of the Boggeragh & Dhoire na Saggart Mountains enroute to the majestic McGillycuddy Reeks & the shores of the Alantic Ocean.

This epic endurance event is open to keen mountain bikers of all levels from elite racers & competitive amateurs to weekend warriors, who want to test their endurance against some of Irelands best MTB terrain… but also to those more relaxed members of the mtb congregation who aim to finish each stage in a reasonable time & enjoy every single minute of it!
