This event is being organised by IBA Ireland.
It is the second in a series of rallies in the Celtic fringes of Europe, following on from the highly successful Celtic Rally - Tartan Edition in Scotland last year.
The Rallymaster for the 2025 Celtic Rally is once again, Chris McGaffin – Past Brit Butt, European Tour and Wolfhound Rallymaster, Celtic Rallymaster 2024 and multiple times successful Iron Butt Rally Finisher at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels.
Riders will receive the bonus book and GPX files via email, 48 hours prior to the start. Riders will receive details of the Rally hotel, which will be used for Finish and Awards Ceremony on payment of the entry fee. Rally Start

Once again, we are keeping this event as simple as possible – both for Rider and the Organisers.
You can book a room at the finish hotel or one nearby if you wish, but it will be your responsibility to do so. You can stay anywhere you want on the previous evening (even at home), the only stipulation is that you must be at the disclosed start location at 0700 hrs on the 6th September 2025. Food and drink will be up to you. There will be no rally swag either.
Scoring will be conducted face to face. Simply hand in your score sheet and show us your photos – either on a Mobile phone or Digital camera.
Rally is restricted to 30 riders. Rally entry fee is £35. (the £5 increase this year due to overheads increase – otherwise we lose money!).

Chris said there's no swag so make your own if you want. I made myself a couple of Long Sleeve T's in Emerald Green and I was pleased with the results. So much so, and I think this is OK, I'd like to offer them to you. A normal or long sleeve, any size in Emerald green as the design to one UK address at £15 each or to mainland Europe at £20 each (£10 if I bring to the rally assuming I can fit them onto my bike!). If you'd like one just eMail the details to me.
