As part of the 2025 Ballina Salmon Festival, we are proud to present the Mayo Fit Games, an exciting fitness competition that will put participants to the ultimate test. This year, the challenge spans from Ballina to Ballinrobe, where athletes from across the county will compete to claim the title of Mayo’s Fittest.

The competition is open to three divisions: Male, Female, and Team of Four, with each team required to include at least one female participant. This inclusive event encourages individuals and teams to showcase their strength, endurance, and determination as they take on a series of physically and mentally demanding challenges.

Competitors will face twelve purpose-built stations, each designed to test a specific element of fitness. These stations will push participants to their limits, challenging their aerobic capacity, anaerobic power, muscular endurance, coordination, strength, and mental grit. Success will demand not only physical ability but also strategy, resilience, and heart.

The Mayo Fit Games will take place on Thursday, 17th July 2025 at 6:30pm as part of the vibrant festival atmosphere. It promises to be an exhilarating evening of competition, community spirit, and celebration of athletic excellence.

Prizes will be awarded to the best female competitor, best male competitor, and the top-performing team of four. In addition, the highly coveted Spirit of Mayo Award will be presented to the individual or team who best embodies sportsmanship, determination, and true Mayo grit.

Whether you’re competing or cheering from the sidelines, join us for an unforgettable event as we find out who will take the title of Mayo’s Fittest!
