2. From Gaelforce to Atacama
We want to congratulate Ruthann Sheahan, a past Gaelforce competitor who has just completed the Atacama Crossing in Chile crossing the finish line as the 3rd woman home. What an amazing achievement, we are in awe. She brought her 2011 Turf Warrior buff with her as you can see from the photo above!!

3. Brand Spanking New!
We have been busy installing three new really great obstacles in time for the Turf Warrior Challenge, which will mean less running and even more craic on the day. This is Martin (above) who is our chief course builder, at one of the new obstacles-in-progress. Don't forget the course is also available for booking throughout the year!

4. Movember on board for Turf Warrior again.
The Turf Warrior Challenge is a great way to kick start Movember this November 1st. Take the challenge and spend the rest of the month showing your friends and family the photos and raising money for men's health. Picture yourself running through Connemara mud with your mo flapping behind you and your mo sistas running beside you! Glory Days!

We were delighted to have the 2 guys come to Killary and try out the Turf Warrior Challenge Course.

That is all the news for October from Gaelforce Events. We hope the more changeable weather has not dimmed your efforts to get out and enjoy the outdoors as, even though a little extra effort is needed, it is definitely worth it!
Best wishes
The Gaelforce Team
