The Causeway Coast Adventure Racing Club is run by a team of experienced adventure racers and race support personnel, all with many years of race experience. We are a voluntary club based in Coleraine. (club constition) Members of the club have been participating in adventure races for a number of years both through-out Ireland and the UK. These races have included anything from short 1 day races to the longer expedition type races lasting 5 or more days.

The 1 day races we ran in 2006/7 incorporated the disciplines of the larger races, including running/trekking, mountain biking and kayaking, but with smaller distances and less technical navigation.

The series offered teams an excellent test of their fitness but were also aimed at helping "would-be racers" to develop skills and endurance across all disciplines in preparation for potentially having a crack at the bigger, more challenging races.

The time taken to complete each of these races was anything from between 3 to 6 hours, depending on competitors fitness and skill levels.

For 2008 the club have decided to run a series of races to include both 1 day events and 2 day events. We will also be running a longer Coast to Coast event.

The club also decided to organise a pilot race for young people in the Coleraine area, this event will be staged on the 16th March, starting at Christie Memorial Park on the banks of the River Bann.
