Albion

We proudly present to you, our partnership with Albion.

A meeting we were almost late for, Matt missed the train at Llandudno, Toby was sitting at Chester waiting, hoping he’d find a solution. With just minutes remaining, a car skidded into the station, Matt burst through the barriers and the journey to London began. That was more than 6 years ago, and we’re honoured and privileged to continue our partnership. The Albion team, are like minded souls searching for adventure and refining their products by it, in an attempt to help keep us all outside for longer. Here’s to memories created, shared and remembered, and we look forward to seeing where this next chapter takes us.

A note from Albion co-founder, Rupert Hartley

After that first meeting, and before the first Pan Celtic Race set off from a car park in Inverness, came the first Gathering. We made our way to the Betws-y-Coed YHA at Swallow Falls, unsure what lay in store. What was a Gathering? I barely knew what an Ultra was at that point. Stories, riding, good company, sleeping in a fire station; I should have known this would become business as usual for the Pan Celtic. Fast forward 3 years (and a Pandemic), both Jack and I had ridden an edition of the Pan Celtic, starting our own journey’s in this world. The people at that first Gathering can still be found on start lines of the Pan Celtic all these years later, and the team remain great friends of ours. We are excited and proud to start the next chapter together.

It was January 2019 when Matt and I thought it would be a good idea to ride from Chester to Leeds to a meeting with Restrap, to see if they’d be interested in coming onboard as a Pan Celtic Race Partner. Snow, ice, unnecessary routing and being late that day, was just beginning of our friendship. Beers, handshakes, dragons, bowling balls, exhaust whistles, and regrettable promises later and here we are, looking at extending that partnership into Chapter Two. Cheers for the memories so far, and stoked to make loads more.

Curve

We proudly present to you, our partnership with Curve.

We’ve been long time friends with Curve and Ryan ‘Rhino’ Flynn ever since 2019 when he completed our inaugural race, bringing his humour and ultra distance wisdom through ‘Rhinos Top Touring Tips’, a comical take on the highs and lows of ultra distance cycling. (Those old Insta stories from 2019 still make us laugh now!)

Curve share our passion and philosophy’s surrounding bikepacking, adventure, gravel and our ability to enable riders from walks of life to enjoy this wonderful sport. Partnering with Curve brings lots of exciting new opportunities and we are buzzing to see what the future holds. Watch this space.

A note from Curve

Curve is proud to partner with and support this wonderful clan and its adventure cycling events, both on and off-road. Many of the bikes we make have been designed to take on events like the Pan Celtic and Gravel Rally! Having been part of the inaugural Pan Celtic in 2019 and remaining in close contact ever since, this is a great opportunity to further support and champion this growing community and these two incredible events that echo our passion and excitement within adventure cycling.

Exposure Lights

We proudly present to you, our partnership with Exposure Lights.

Another partner who has supported us since the beginning, although we’ve been friends for even longer. We first met Exposure in 2017 when Toby’s rear light fell from its bracket while commuting home from work. When he found it, still flashing in the middle of a busy road, it had been crushed and was totally bent out of shape. The light was replaced and the crushed light (on display in their showroom) stands as a testament to the build quality of their lights. Exposure have gone on to support us and bring their best to The Gravel Rally Night Stage each year. Onwards into Chapter Two, we’re excited to see what comes next.

A note from Exposure Lights

The Pan Celtic team have created something very special with the Ultra and Gravel Rally. It’s easy to see from the riders, that these events are more than just races; there’s a true camaraderie and togetherness; it’s supportive and celebratory. For Exposure Lights, it has been, and continues to be, a joyful association. It gives us immense pride to see so many Pan Celtic riders relying on our lights to attack the exhilarating Night Stage at the Gravel Rally, or guide them safely along the winding roads and through the dark nights during the Pan Celtic Ultra. We cannot wait for this year’s editions and we greatly look forward to hearing your stories from the road and trail.

Nutrition

Styrkr

We proudly present to you, our partnership with Styrkr.

It was at the end of 2021 when a new sports nutrition brand was getting ready to launch, that we noticed a few cheeky hashtags appearing on some of our posts. Like us in 2019, they were new and looking for people and events that shared their passions for ultra. Their managing director, Christian was keen to join us and ride the 2022 Ultra and so, a partnership was born. From their incredible Bar50’s to their SLT sachets, Styrkr have fuelled many an endeavour of ours, and their commitment to the cause, has seen them become a staple of the Gravel Rally Pit Stop year on year.

A note from Styrkr

The PCR family welcomed us before anyone really knew who we were. Long before brand growth, it was shared kilometres, pit-stop chats and proper ultra spirit that shaped the brand. That’s why this partnership matters to us, not as a transaction, but a shared mindset. Proud to keep fuelling the Pan Celtic Ultra and the Rally, and everyone lining up for the unknown. See you out there.

Brewery

Wild Horse Brewing Co

We proudly present to you, our partnership with Wild Horse Brewing Co.

The Celts had a deeply ingrained, sophisticated brewing culture, enjoyed by both men and women, beer acted as a staple beverage and a key social lubricant as early as 500 BC. They innovated by using wooden barrels for storage, while brewers flavoured ales using wild herbs, mugwort, and meadowsweet for flavor. Appearing in both daily life and high-status rituals, it was heavily integrated into politics and feasting, often served in large quantities to elites. Please take note of that last sentence.

A note from Wild Horse Brewing Co

At Wild Horse Brewing Co we love the outdoors, North Wales and all the amazing activities our local area is perfect for, just like the incredible Pan Celtic Ultra and Gravel Rally. We’ve worked with the team, supporting the Gravel Rally for the past couple of years and we can’t wait to get even more involved with both events in 2026 and beyond, that perfectly embody the vibrant outdoor community here in North Wales.

We proudly present to you, our partnership with Scribe.

Some stories transcend time, and having seen first hand how much Scribe care about the community and are prepared to offer their help in a riders hour of need, we find ourselves honoured to have partnered with not only such a great ideology, but a wheel manufacturer that produces some of the fastest wheel on the market. Stories from Chapter One echoing into a new era.

A note from Scribe

Our story with the PCR started in Belfast. In the very first year, we got a call saying one of the riders needed a new wheel after a RTC incident in Scotland docks. That’s when we met one of our ambassadors; Neil Lauder. Battered and bruised, he refused to give in, even with a cracked frame. I was hooked on the event from this point onwards as we watched all the live GPS pins move across the country. At Scribe, our name is about connecting riders to their own journeys and chapters, and we are stoked to officially partner with PCR.
