api_fields_post_description => 'BEAR RUN 74 | 23rd–25th April

Three days. Incredible cars. Epic roads. Welcome to BEAR RUN 74…

Friday 23rd April
We kick things off at Applegreen Lifford, before making our way towards the spectacular Wild Atlantic Way. Our route will take us through Dunfanaghy and Dungloe, before stopping at McCafferty’s, Lettermacaward for lunch at approximately 3:00pm. From there, we continue through Donegal before arriving at the stunning Lough Eske Castle for our first overnight stay.

Saturday 24th April
The BEAR RUN 74 start line will be at Donegal Town Pier from 9:00am–11:15am, bringing the cars together before we hit the road for Day Two. From Donegal, we’ll make our way to Ballina, Co. Mayo for lunch before continuing south to Limerick for our second overnight stay.

Sunday 25th April
Our final day begins in Limerick, heading towards Killarney for lunch at approximately 1:30pm. After lunch, we’ll take on the final stretch of BEAR RUN 74, making our way north to Galway, where we’ll cross the finish line and celebrate the end of an incredible three-day run, followed by our final overnight stay….

Lifford → Wild Atlantic Way → Donegal → Ballina → Limerick → Killarney → Galway.'
