Since 2007, Cool Running Events (CRE) has been transforming the landscape of entertainment in Ireland with unique, immersive experiences. As the nation's largest ice rink operator through IceSkating.ie, we specialise in the production, management, and marketing of pop-up events that captivate audiences. In August 2021, we expanded our portfolio by acquiring Zipit Forest Adventures, Ireland’s leading high ropes course operator, further solidifying our presence in the adventure space. 
IceSkating.ie is Ireland’s premier operator of seasonal ice skating events, with our flagship event, formerly known as Cork on Ice, delighting visitors since 2007. In 2021, we reimagined this beloved experience, launching the Alpine Skate Trail—Ireland’s first outdoor ice skating trail—in Cork. We've continued this innovation with Dún Laoghaire's Alpine Skate Trail, Dublin’s first-ever skating trail along the scenic harbour, and also operate Ice Skating Blanchardstown. 
Zipit Forest Adventures brings outdoor fun to new heights with high ropes courses set in the treetops of Ireland’s stunning forest parks. Our three locations—Farran Woods (Cork), Tibradden Woods (Dublin), and Lough Key (Roscommon)—offer thrilling aerial challenges for adventurers of all ages.
Both IceSkating.ie and Zipit Forest Adventures have experienced significant growth, and we are excited to continue expanding in the years ahead. At Cool Running Events, we are passionate about creating unforgettable experiences that leave lasting magical memories for families, groups, and individuals.
For our corporate clients, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service. We offer tailored packages for company outings, team-building events, and festive gatherings at our various ice skating and outdoor adventure locations. Whether you're planning a memorable day on the ice or an exhilarating team challenge at Zipit Forest Adventures, our dedicated team is here to assist with all your corporate booking needs.
