Course Map
We won't give away all of our secrets, but our interactive course map will give you an idea of what to expect.
Our Turf Warrior route varies from year to year. Just to keep you on your toes!
Up Slide
Up Slide
Trench War
Into the trenches, keep your buddies close!
Leap of Faith (Jetty Jump)
No physical challenge could be complete without a cliff jump into the deep Atlantic waters (all that jumping into the river was just a practice for the real thing). It will also help to remove some of the bog from various body parts!
Race Start
A dash through the finest Connemara boggy landscape to get the heart pumping and the mind focused for what is ahead. Slipping and sliding is definitely on the menu here!
Bush Waking
Get in touch with nature as you navigate through the bush
Lilly Leap
Do NOT fall off the lilly pads... who knows what lies beneath??
1 2 3 Swing
Release your inner Tarzan
Cascading Gorge
For those who are old enough to remember the Timotei advert! Tumbling water falls, scrambling across the rocks and plunging into pools as you make your way through the natural gorge. Refreshing in May, not so much in November!
Finish line
You've made it!! Cross the finish line and stand proud with your fellow warriors, change into warm clean clothes and make your way upstairs into the Killary Adventure Centre. There is hot food, hot whiskey and your well earned Warrior T-Shirt waiting for you.
Everest, Annapurna, K2 (Walls)
Climb over using the grips provided while your fellow competitors shove you up from below and haul you up from above. This is definitely better with team work and particulary difficult to do in an elegant manner, ladies.
Pasta Masta
Squeeze up and over...Monkey see monkey do
Unleash your inner animal as you try not to fall in
Entrails
Well what can we say? As with the Turfinator we are particularly proud of our Entrails. Up to now you may have been delicately hopping between puddles and gingerly wiping the mud from your clothes but not any longer. Get in there, get under and whatever you do, do not swallow!

Skid Mark
A really unique use of tyres that will see you inserting your body through the racks of tyres and hopefully emerging in the same shape that you went in!
Turfinator
The ultimate in mud. How did we create such a thing? With love and care, madness and mayhem and a little help form the Connemara terrain and weather. Slog through the viscous mud and whatever you do, leave no one behind!
Electric Bog
Electrified obstacle at Turf Warrior...!Rude Tubes
Rude is how you might describe the man who built these tubes – how could he be so rude, mean and devious – and who was so rude to leave all that yucky mud at the end of them?? Don't worry you will emerge quite quickly as you slide legs first into a pond of mud.
MOLE HOLE
Just in case you didn’t get enough of crawling through the bog
Tunnels of Love 2.0
Venture up the tunnels of love as you crawl, shuffle and squeeze your way through. Whatever you do, don’t slip back down!

Balance Beams
Mud is like fairy liquid on our beams so don't fall off!!Midge Nets
Combat training – chest to the ground, face to the mud and off you go under the nets without getting entangled or being spotted and shot by the enemy (well, maybe that last bit was slightly untrue but you get the picture).

Heart Break Hill
Named for how it makes you feel as you scramble and climb your way up and over. But every worthwhile relationship needs a little heartbreak don't you think??
