Pan Celtic Race Gravel Rally

The Pan Celtic Race Gravel Rally is a gravel bikepacking adventure set in the wild landscapes of Ireland, designed to celebrate the spirit of exploration, endurance, and Celtic heritage. Organised as part of the Pan Celtic Race family, the event offers riders a challenging yet welcoming off-road experience through forests, mountains, coastal tracks, and remote countryside.

The main Long Route covers 136 kilometres with approximately 3,122 metres of elevation gain, while a Short Route of 94 kilometres with 2,115 metres of climbing is also available. An optional 18 km Night Stage adds a further 389 metres of elevation gain, giving riders the chance to experience the Irish landscape under the stars.

The Gravel Rally follows a self-supported philosophy, with riders responsible for their own navigation, food, accommodation, and mechanical repairs. Rather than focusing purely on competition, the event encourages participants to embrace the journey, connect with fellow riders, and enjoy the rugged beauty of Ireland’s lesser-known gravel roads and trails.

With its combination of demanding climbing, remote scenery, and a strong community atmosphere, The Pan Celtic Race Gravel Rally offers a memorable bikepacking experience that captures the adventurous spirit of Celtic exploration.
