The Paddy Games, Cork, 2010

270 competitors representing 35 different nations, from 5 continents..in front of 3,000 spectators. Where were you?

Open to contestants of all shapes, ages and levels of fitness, Paddy Games is about removing elitism from sport and enabling the common man and woman (and animal!) to become their own sporting hero. From BBC Radio 2, SABC in South Africa and ABC in Australia, through to The Guardian, The Pakistan Times, and Dutch TV NOS; both Irish and international media have registered Paddy Games as a global event on the international sports calendar.

With the bid to host Paddy Games in 2011 hotting up, the question is not when will you be back to defend your title, but WHERE? With plans to add a Junior Paddy Games event for next year, it’s going to be a case of double trouble in summer 2011.
