Saturday 22 July is the date to mark in your diaries for this year’s Bull Run for Fun.

Organisers are hoping to best 2022’s turnout of 47 boats from around Ireland, ranging from a 5m open rib to a 1450 Redbay Stormforce, that came together in Kenmare for Europe’s most westerly RIB rally.

Boats will set out on the 90-nautical mile run from Dromquinna to the Bull Rock and back via Dursey Sound, Skellig Michael and other landmarks of the wild Atlantic coast.

Already more than 37 RIBs and other boats are registered and places are filling up fast, making great progress towards breaking the 50-boat mark this year. Email [email protected] to register your spot.
