On Saturday 28th January 2012,40 Race2Glory 2012 was launched in association with Irish Autism Action (IAA). Keith Duffy, patron for Irish Autism Action launched the 40 Kilometre Adventure Race, which will return to Kiltimagh, Co Mayo for the second year running on 14thJuly 2012.
Keith was highly enthusiastic to lend his support to Race2Glory and if work commitments allow, he plans on competing in this year race. Keith sees Race2Glory as the perfect test to see how his training regime for this year Galway Iron Man is coming together.
As well as the team challenge this year, Race2Glory has also offered the adventure race as a platform to raise much needed funds for Irish Autism Action. Commenting on this new addition to the race, Chairman Brendan Mooney said: “Following the huge interest in the race last year we decided to offer the race as a fund raising opportunity for anyone who wanted to raise funds for this worthy cause. We decided to endorse Irish Autism Action (IAA) because of the strong links Kiltimagh has with Irish Autism Action which set up a school in Kiltimagh for children with Autism in 2007. Also we want to encourage everyone to take part in the race and raising money for charity maybe the motivation they need!”
