A Gathering, A Second Coming – Presented by Restrap

This event marks the premiere of the latest Pan Celtic Race series film: ‘Chapter One‘, by Friction Collective, along with an exciting announcement about the 2026 events.

Meet in Leeds Saturday 6th December at Restrap HQ

Film Premiere – 6pm at Archive, Leeds

Attendees of this event will get exclusive early-bird access to the Pan Celtic 2026 events – the ability to sign up before anyone else.

In this film, we revisit Chapter One of the Pan Celtic Race Series ~ a five-year journey through the six Celtic nations: Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany and the Isle of Man.

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.

This is the story of that journey ~ of the people, the places, and the shared spirit that carried them all.

The premiere is from 6pm till late.

Ride-out
