The Royal Longford Militia was ordered to march to join the concentration of British forces to oppose this invasion. Granard marched out on 24 August with the four available companies of his regiment and arrived at <a href="/wiki/Castlebar" title="Castlebar">Castlebar</a> on the evening of 26 August, having marched 80 miles from Ennis in three days. The exhausted men <a href="/wiki/Bivouac_shelter" title="Bivouac shelter">bivouacked</a> in the street. Humbert attacked next morning and the small British force deployed outside the town to meet him. The Kilkenny Militia and some guns were placed along the ridge, with Granard's men in support in their left rear, the second line behind. The guns held off several French attacks, but when Humbert deployed to outflank the Kilkennys, they opened fire at too long a range and then attempted to retire. This was too much for inexperienced troops, and they broke and ran, sweeping away part of Granard's men and the whole of the second line. With the remainder of his regiment, and those men he could rally, Granard carried out a retirement in reasonable order, firing volleys to cover the retreat of the force. Threatened with being enveloped, Granard retired to Castlebar Bridge in the town where, with the assistance of a gun, he managed to hold on for about half an hour. However, the rest of the force that had retired into Castlebar was in complete confusion behind him and failed to rally there. Under crossfire from the houses across the bridge, all of the gunners were shot down and although Granard's men repulsed the first attempt by French <a href="/wiki/Hussar" title="Hussar">Hussars</a> to cross the bridge, their infantry came on and engaged in hand-to-hand fighting on the bridge while other parties waded across the river on either side. Granard retired, forming a rearguard for the broken army, which was fleeing across the countryside, giving rise to the battle's nickname, the 'Castlebar Races'. Granard and the remnants of the Royal Longford Militia reached <a href="/wiki/Tuam" title="Tuam">Tuam</a> the following morning All the army's baggage and cannons in Castlebar fell into the hands of the enemy.
