Mark this date down in your diary…. Saturday 30th June 2012. It will be the BIGGEST day ever seen in North Cork ! A huge Gladiator Adventure Race through scenic Glanworth, a parade through Fermoy with celebrities like Alex Reid, ‘Ice’ and ‘Destroyer’ from the hit TV show ‘Gladiators’, Ireland’s Strongest Man James Fennelly and the legendary Valdas Valdemaras, plus an after-party to beat all after-parties at the Corrin Mart with acts like The Rubber Bandits, The Roaring Forties, and KC from TodayFM.
The emphasis is on FUN- the race is over a 10km course in Glanworth. Competitors will be able to participate in their chosen category- Elite, Team, or novice. The course will be dotted with challenges like hay bales, horse fences, bouncy castles, climbing over cars, spear throwing and the chance to take on James Fennelly, Alex Reid or Valdas Valdemaras ! If you are able to walk 10km, you WILL be able for this. You can raise money for charity, come along with a group of friends for the laugh, or set yourself a personal goal to just finish. It’s up to you, it’s YOUR day!
Competitors set out from Glanworth on the Adventure Run from 10am. All entrants will be timed and tagged, and your results recorded. After 9km on the roads around Glanworth (the roads will be closed off for you), the event comes to its climax at theK2NY centre.
From there, the final 1km is a series of challenges around the fabled K2NY obstacle course. The top 3 male and female competitors will go forward to the Gladiator Eliminator Grand Final to be held at the Corrin Mart in the evening. Prizes are outstanding, with €12 000 up for grabs!
