ROUNDWOOD DUATHLON
The Roundwood Fun Duathlon will take place on Friday 27th of December generously sponsored by Kavanagh’s Vartry House.

The route will consist of a 5 mile cycle and a 1 mile run taking in some of the Vartry Reservoirs trails. For families and those of a less competitive nature, there is a shorter walk which will be entirely on footpaths or on the Vartry trails. Refreshments, spot prizes in and a great line up of entertainment is planned after all that exercise in Kavanagh’s Vartry House. A fun afternoon for all the family is guaranteed. Registration from 1.30pm at Kavanagh’s with a race start time of 2pm.
