Go Karting in County Wicklow

Challenge your friends at the best tracks County Wicklow has to offer.

County Wicklow offers a scenic backdrop for driving, but options for competitive karting within the county borders are limited. The primary local venue is situated in a holiday park in Redcross, offering a fun, accessible track for families and tourists. For high-speed professional grids, Wicklow residents are perfectly positioned to access the major circuits in South Dublin and Kilkenny.

The sole operating track within the county is River Valley Karting (Redcross). Located within the popular River Valley Holiday Park, this track is distinct from the soft-play kiddie rides often found in adventure centres. It features a proper tarmac circuit equipped with a timing system. The venue runs a fleet of Biz Karts (both Adult and Junior models), making it a legitimate racing experience where lap times are recorded and speed matters. While the circuit is shorter and tighter than the national championship tracks (lap times are typically around 33 seconds), it is the best option for "Arrive & Drive" fun in the heart of the county. For Pro Racing (Bray & Arklow):
  • Bray & Greystones: Residents in North Wicklow are only 20-30 minutes away from Kylemore Karting (Dublin), Ireland's largest indoor facility.
  • Arklow & South Wicklow: For a full-scale outdoor challenge, many drive south to Kiltorcan Raceway (Kilkenny/Wexford border), which offers a 1,000m championship circuit suitable for high-speed 2-stroke and 4-stroke racing.

Go karting in County Wicklow - FAQs

Common questions about finding a race in County Wicklow.

There is no kart track in Bray itself. The closest option is Kylemore Karting in Dublin (Ballyfermot), which is roughly a 20-minute drive north via the M50.

Yes. River Valley operates Adult BizKarts and uses a professional timing system (RaceFacer), meaning adults can race competitively against the clock and each other.

While some adventure centres (like Kippure) have offered mud buggies in the past, for tarmac go-karting, River Valley is the main dedicated location.

If you want a full Grand Prix experience, most Wicklow stag groups travel to Kylemore Karting (Dublin) for indoor racing or Whiteriver Park (Louth) for the massive outdoor track. River Valley is better suited for smaller family groups or casual fun.
