Westport Sea 2 Summit is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of the human spirit, a test of endurance, and a thrilling challenge that combines road running, cycling, and a mountain hike. Participants can choose between the Spirit or Supreme courses, each offering a different level of intensity and adventure.
The Spirit course caters to those looking for a challenge, it is designed to cater to both seasoned athletes and beginners, offering a challenge that is as rewarding as it is demanding. It takes anywhere from 2hours and up and takes in a shorter route than the Supreme Course.

It hits up to 25% gradients at times so it’s not for the faint hearted!
