Quest teams up with Volvo Car Ireland

Quest Adventure Series has welcomed Volvo Car Ireland as their official event vehicle partner across Quest events for 2019, writes Trish Whelan.

Quest adventure races involve running, cycling and kayaking across various distances in remote, beautiful and challenging locations.

Volvo will sponsor two event vehicles for Quest over the next six months and be on hand at Quest 12/24, Quest Lough Derg and Quest Killarney so adventure racers can get to grips with the vehicles themselves.

Adventure racing has become a popular past-time in Ireland in recent years with over 10,000 participants taking part in Quest events across the year. An alternative to triathlon and the popular mass participation half-marathons and other runs on offer, adventure racing extends beyond the physical and fosters a great sense of camaraderie and fun as part of the races.

The new partnership is founded on core values shared between Volvo and Quest including respect and care for the environment, sustainability and a sense of adventure. Both also share a focus on people, helping them to enjoy active lifestyles and explore new opportunities.

Volvo's model range is well suited to the world of adventure with its award-winning new SUVs and estate cars that are safe, spacious and engineered for rugged performance.

Volvo also offers a range of accessories specifically designed for people who enjoy sports and adventure, from bespoke and secure cycle carriers, spacious roof boxes, and hard-wearing load compartment and cabin mats for carrying wet or dirty clothing and equipment. A range of towing gear is also available.

Oliver Kirwan, Quest founder and Race Director welcomed Volvo to Quest Adventure Series and looks forward to a positive and productive partnership while Emma O'Carroll, Marketing and PR Manager, Volvo Car Ireland said there is a sense of adventure at the heart of Volvo that makes its partnership with Quest 'a perfect fit'.

Quest 12/24 is a long-distance adventure race that takes place on Saturday 31 August, followed by Quest Lough Derg on Saturday 14 September and Quest Killarney on Saturday 12 October.

Volvo will also be present at Run Killarney on Saturday 20 July at the Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney.
