We are delighted to launch this event in 2025!

Don't forget to click "attending" on the official Facebook Event.

Please NB: Unfortunately dogs are not permitted on the Sheep's Head Way due to the abundance of wildlife (sheep and goats!) on the peninsula.

Check-in! : We will be asking all registered participants to check in online approximately two weeks from the event. The Check-in process will result in a simpler event experience for you by removing the usual on-the-day administration. Amongst other things, within the Check-in process we will be asking you to watch the mandatory event safety video.
