National Adventure Marathon
It's back by popular demand the National Adventure Marathon, affectionately known as NAM. This event is run by Cappanalea OEC which is situated in a perfect wilderness location on the mountainous shores of Caragh Lake. The centre which was established in 1981, has many years of experience in running the National Adventure Marathon. The unique format of NAM, which was one of the first adventure races in Ireland, quickly earned itself a reputation for being a very well organised and challenging event covering all wilderness areas Cork and Kerry.
NAM is a weekend event, which starts Friday evening and runs through to Sunday lunchtime. There are 10 individual stages including two night stages. NAM is a combination of several disciplines, including Navigation and Orienteering, Mountain Biking, Paddling, Mountain Running as well as Team Initiatives and Rafting.
This gruelling adventure race is open to teams of four who will be tested on both physical and mental power. All team members will require a very high level of fitness and endurance as well as expertise in a variety of outdoor skills. There will be no cash prizes only the honour of your team being immortalised on the impressive perpetual trophy.
The National Adventure Marathon is scheduled to take place on the Friday 1st - 3rd May 2009 (MAY BANK HOL). The all inclusive cost per team is €1,200. The NAM event is limited to a total of 14 teams.
