🚴‍♂️ 5 Wild Reasons to Take on the Wild Mayo Ultra

May 30–31 | Westport, County Mayo

Ever felt the call to do something a little bit mad? Something that flips the ordinary on its head, that asks for all you’ve got—and gives back even more?

Welcome to the Wild Mayo Ultra. A 200km, 300km, or 500km ultra-distance cycling odyssey through Ireland’s most dramatic terrain. Whether you’re riding solo, as a pair, or part of a determined crew, this isn’t just a bike ride—it’s your next big adventure. Here’s why you need to be on the start line:

1️⃣ The Adventure of a Lifetime

This isn’t a sportive. This isn’t a spin. This is an epic, and you’re the main character.

The 500km route is an entire lap of County Mayo—a raw, wild loop around one of Ireland’s most beautiful and remote landscapes. With punchy climbs, exposed coastal roads, and isolated mountain passes, it’s you versus the elements, your legs versus the land. The 200km and 300km routes offer the same untamed beauty in more bite-sized challenges, designed to be conquered in daylight hours—just.

Whichever distance you choose, this is the ride you’ll never forget.

2️⃣ Push Past Limits — Embrace the Challenge

Every route is built to test you.

• 200km: Ideal for the strong Sunday rider who’s hungry for something bigger.
• 300km: The sweet spot for riders dipping into the world of ultra-endurance. Challenging. Achievable. Addictive.
• 500km: A full-blown sufferfest in the best possible way. This one separates the bold from the brave. With 4,500m of climbing, including the infamous Minaun Heights, it’s a spiritual, physical, and mental showdown.

The Wild Mayo Ultra isn’t just a challenge—it’s a call to arms for cyclists who want to feel alive.

3️⃣ Scenery That’ll Stop You in Your Tracks

This isn’t your local loop. This is Mayo—wild, weathered, and wonderful.

We’re talking:
🌊 Crashing waves along the Wild Atlantic Way
🗻 Sky-scraping climbs through Minaun Heights & Keem Bay
🌲 Untamed backroads of Ballycroy National Park
🏞️ Hidden lakes, quiet valleys, stone forts, ancient villages

You’ll ride past coastlines that belong in postcards and down descents that’ll leave your heart pounding—not from the climb, but from the view. If you’re not pulling over to take photos, you’re doing it wrong.

4️⃣ Westport — The Perfect Adventure Base

Start and finish in Westport, Ireland’s adventure HQ.

Set beneath the sacred peak of Croagh Patrick and overlooking the pristine waters of Clew Bay, Westport is a lively, welcoming town packed with energy, history, and craic. With top-tier hotels, buzzing pubs, and golden beaches, it’s the perfect spot to unwind once the saddle time is done.

Bring the family. Bring your mates. Make it a long weekend.

5️⃣ Ride Alone — But Never Unsupported

Ultra-cycling doesn’t have to mean solo suffering. Whether you’re tackling the route as a lone wolf, a dynamic duo, or a full-force team of four or more, the Wild Mayo Ultra lets you choose your tribe.

Your support crew will play a vital role—navigating, refuelling, motivating. Behind every finisher is a crew that made it happen. And if they can’t make it? No stress—live tracking keeps your progress visible to anyone cheering you on from afar.

This isn’t just your event. It’s everyone’s journey.

• 200km – Your first taste of ultra. Fast, scenic, and punchy.
