Pan Celtic Ultra Series 2024: The Magnum Opus Official Race Film
For folks who had participated in two or more of the Pan Celtic Race Series, the organizers put on a final event called Magnum Opus, where riders would tackle a 1,000-mile route on the way to the 2024 Ultra. Watch the 50-minute film made by Friction Collective here…

The Magnum Opus was the final event in the 2024 Pan Celtic Race series. The only riders who were invited to participate must have previously signed up for at least two of their events. Each entrant got to choose their starting location in one of the previously visited Celtic nations before completing three mandatory parcours en route to the Isle of Man, where they would join the 2024 Pan Celtic Ultra event and race to the finish line in Inverness.
That meant that they needed to ride approximately 1,000 miles to the start of the main event, pedal a 100-mile TT around the island, and then race to the finish line in Inverness via the Lake District and the Scottish islands and west coast. The person with the lowest aggregate time would be the overall winner. For a closer look at the event, watch the 50-minute film from the Friction Collective below.
“I just feel so unbelievably emotional doing it. Having this much time for yourself is not something you get in life.”
