We are getting ready to pedal our way to fun and fitness as The Kirby Way Cycle returns for a third consecutive year! The 2024 cycle will take place on Friday, 30^th August and will start and finish in Portlaoise with participants choosing a route of 50km or 100km.

We were delighted to welcome former professional racing cyclist, Imogen Cotter, to the official launch of the 2024 cycle where she delivered a safety awareness talk on road and cycle safety and offered some great tips on training and equipment for the cycle.

This year we are raising funds for two worthy charities, Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation and St. John’s Ward at Children’s Health Ireland, Crumlin.

Donations can be made on our fundraising page: https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/KirbyWayCycle2024

The fundraising from The Kirby Way Cycle will be donated directly to St. John’s Cancer Ward in Crumlin’s Children Hospital.
