International development organisation, Transaid, has announced its next cycle challenge. Participants will start in Cork and ride 328km to Dublin between 24-28 September 2025.
On day one, cyclists will travel 132km from Cork to Waterford. On the second day, the group will travel 91km to Carlow and the final 105km will be cycled on the third day.
Caroline Barber, Chief Executive of Transaid, said: “It has been incredible to see our cycle challenges grow since we launched the first ride back in 2006, and the team is really excited to be crossing the Irish Sea for this next adventure.
“The transport and logistics industry are always ready to jump in the saddle to support us, and the unrestricted funds they generate open doors for us to pilot new projects.”
The registration fee for Cork to Dublin is £149 per person and participants are asked to raise a minimum sponsorship of £1,750 to take part.
The package includes four nights’ accommodation with meals, ride support, luggage transport along the route, and bike passage to and from Ireland. Flights must be booked separately.
Last year, two groups of riders participate in Transaid cycle challenges, in the UK and Kenya. The challenge raised more than £255,000 to support life-saving road safety and access to healthcare projects. Entries for Cork to Dublin are encouraged from teams and individuals.
