After 12 amazing years, during which time, SCAR generated thousands of euro for good causes and charities across West Cork, we are delighted to announce an exciting development to our event for 2025.
SCAR will now become a ‘duathlon’ involving just cycling and off-road/road running.
Why? We listened to the feedback from our past participants. We know running and cycling are immensely popular so we decided to create a simpler event called SCAR Duathlon with just these 2 disciplines (we’ve now removed kayaking from our event).
Our Values: SCAR has always been known as a friendly and supportive event for all entrants regardless of fitness levels with our amazing marshals making it special for everyone. These values will carry through to our new SCAR Duathlon.
Where? SCAR Duathlon will take you through some of West Cork’s most iconic beauty spots including: Lough Hyne, Toe Head, Castletownshend, Tragumna.
Don’t worry it will still deliver you a challenge no matter what level of fitness you have.
Who? Anyone with a reasonable level of fitness can take part in SCAR Duathlon. There are two courses, SPORT and TASTER to suit all levels and all ambitions … from competitive runners, cyclists, triathletes to those who simply want to challenge themselves to complete one of the courses. There’s even a ‘relay team’ option for our Taster course.
Looking forward to seeing you at SCAR Duathlon 2025 – The West Cork Adventure Duathlon on Saturday 18th October in Skibbereen, West Cork.
Our volunteers are awesome ! Thank You
Over the years hundreds of people have volunteered their time, energy and support to help us deliver a safe, well organised and enjoyable event for all competitors.
