Darkness Into Light - SATURDAY MAY 7TH 2022
2022-05-07 | Tipperary, Tipperary, Ireland
In 2022, we are delighted to be welcoming back our in-person walks in Ireland and across the world. In 2021, we were also overwhelmed by the support of thousands of people who took part in Darkness Into Light in their own way. So, this year, we are inviting you to take part in Darkness Into Light in whatever way you want. The important thing is that you share a sunrise moment and raise vital funds for people affected by suicide and self-harm. Together, we can create a global sunrise moment and join together to be the light against the dark. https://www.darknessintolight.ie/

Knock ME Down Adventure Race 2021
2021-08-28 10:00 - 17:00 | Tipperary, Tipperary, Ireland
New For 2021
The events now have their own domain at www.KnockMEDown.ie, please save the address. It leads to the events’ own Facebook Page.
Because it was so popular in 2019, prizes for Male and Female over 60 age categories will be continued into 2021 (and beyond, we hope).
The Knock ME Down MÓR, as in previous years, will only have prizes for the top two Male and top two Female finishers.
The run section of the MÓR is slightly different this year, but don’t worry, it’s equally challenging. Details of the new route will be on the Information Page https://bit.ly/3pt5gxu once we’ve had a chance to get them on there.
This year the improved boarding and disembarking facilities for Kayaks at Baylough, is to be expanded even further, to accommodate a quicker throughput of participants. There will also be no double Kayaks in this year’s event, they are all single sit-on Kayaks.
Over-the-head buoyancy aids on the lake section will be replaced by units that zip up the front. These are much easier to put on and it should prevent race numbers being dislodged during this process.
We will use a new timing system this year, no more need for dibbers, you’ll be timed automatically using disposable electronic ‘Timing Tags’ contained in your Race Number. It will, therefore, be important to protect this number and make sure it is visible.
We are also expanding the participation numbers in the ultra-challenging event Knock ME Down MÓR. This event previewed in 2018, running again in 2019, as it proved immensely popular. The MÓR adds to the Challenge running and cycling routes bringing, the event to an exceptionally challenging 57km event.
