Watch: The Pan Celtic Race: Magnum Opus
The latest film to follow the final Pan Celtic Ultra race - plus some exciting news for 2026
For five consecutive years the Pan Celtic Race put riders shoulder to shoulder to do battle across five Celtic nations, becoming a cornerstone of the Northern European ultra calendar. For what was to be their final instalment, the Magnum Opus saw 55 hardy souls set off each to complete three mandatory parcours across Alba (Scotland), Breton (Brittany), Eire (Ireland), Cymru (Wales) and Kernow (Cornwall) en route to the Isle of Man.
There they’d join their fellow Ultra Clan mates to tackle the Pan Celtic Ultra 2024 where they would ride the predetermined route to Inverness and finish where it all began way back in 2019 – 200 plus riders embarking on one last hurrah in our bid to race across each of the home Celtic nations. The race begins to unfold across the infamous TT circuit known as the Isle of Man, before a neutralised crossing to England and a race to Inverness for glory.
The Second Coming
What began as an idea rooted in childhood adventure became a celebration of endurance, culture and connection. Over five years, riders explored landscapes rich in history and identity, relying on their own strength, judgement and determination to reach the finish.
Since then, questions and rumours have been circulating, Will there be a Pan Celtic Race in 2026?
Well, all is soon to be revealed, as the PCR team present their latest film that looks back on the last five years, The Pan Celtic Race ~ Chapter One. And now, the team are inviting you to join them in Leeds for a group ride and special screening of the film where they’ll be presenting the details of next year’s adventure.
