Race Details

"Simply the most awesome day of adventure in the heart of Dublin city. One of the best races in 2011" Sunday Times

Your day will be action packed. You will have to think constantly, you will never get bored and  you will never think "why" , simply because you won't have time!

If you want epic adventure and a laugh a minute, you have come to the right race!

DARE is a multi-sport event. It is combination of biking, running, street orienteering, abseiling and other rope based activity and kayaking. The race will also include “surprise” challenges such as assault courses and unique tasks at iconic places in the city. Be prepared to tackle the unexpected! It is an adventure race like no other, you will be pushed physically as well as being taxed mentally with our cryptic challenges. Don’t fear however as fun will be a major theme running throughout this event.....

There will be three levels of course on offer: Sport,  Expert and ADRENALIN HUNT. However, DARE will have a cut off time after which, participants will be penalised with time added on for every minute they are late back to the finish! The course will be checkpoint based with timing checks and participants can complete as much of the course as they can within the time limit and still be given a ranking. There will be mandatory checkpoints and tasks that every participant must do in order to receive a ranking such as the Bootcamp Assault Course, Kayaking leg and key controls in the street orienteering section. The two DARE courses are explained here. Distances are guides only, participants are not required to complete the entire distances to achieve a result and ranking. All categories include Aviva Stadium Abseil (not compulsory but highly recommended!), Bootcamp Assault Course and Kayaking.

Dare Adrenalin Hunt is for those who are not keen on biking and kayaking and who just wat to do the city run/treasure hunt and the Aviva Stadium Abseil. Check out the Street Orienteering sections of the other catagories to see what is involved in your running section. It is a city chase across and into city centre locations where you will have to complete challenges. It is high octane adventure tourism as we take you into places normally needing an entrance fee!
