Gaelforce 10K Wicklow and the brown bear
This year the Gaelforce 10K Wicklow event this year will feature the brown bear as its symbol, inspired by our collaboration with Wild Ireland. Once roaming Ireland freely around 2,500 years ago, the Irish bear lives on in folklore, even in names like McMahon (Mac Mathghamhain, meaning "son of bear"). Wild Ireland’s rescued bears now have a safe home, and the sanctuary is working to welcome two more.
Plan a visit to the Wild Ireland Sanctuary in Donegal and experience the wonderful work happening there.
Details of the final route will be posted here and emailed to all registered competitors 1 week before event day.
