This year cyclists can choose between a 120km or a 65km route. The longer route will take you on a full circuit of Lough Derg giving participants the chance to cycle through three counties, Tipperary, Clare and Galway.

The shorter route will take you just beyond Killaloe to a turnaround point at Twomilegate lakeside amenity park. The scenery along the way is unparalleled and gives participants a chance to appreciate the beauty of the River Shannon. There is one big climb up Portroe hill to challenge you but it is short and sweet and before you know it you will be flying down the other side.

Our RNLI lifeboats in Ireland protect hundreds of communities through our 24-hour search and rescue service. They rely on the safest, most reliable lifeboats and modern stations to launch from.

Irelands unrivalled coasts and inland waters are valued by local communities and visitors alike, with millions travelling to enjoy them, and work on them each year. But the water remains an unpredictable environment that can catch people out. People will always need our help and we will always be there to answer that call.
