10th September 2011 - The Achill ROAR adventure race kicked off at 10.00 am with the expert wave 1 heading off down keel strand toward a cloud covered mountain into the high winds which had been responsible for the Swimming/Kayaking section been cancelled.

Winners on the day were Niall Somers and Mary Mulchrone in the Expert and Kieron Cosgrove and Marie Boyle in the Sport classes but on a day of extremely testing conditions to battle and finish itself was a great achievement
