Preliminary details of the Rás Mumhan have been announced by Cycling Munster.

The four-day international cycle race will, once again, be based at the Riverisland Hotel in Castleisland and will run from Good Friday until Easter Monday.

The final route has not yet been revealed but it is expected to follow a similar path to the 2022 edition.

Last year, due to organisational difficulties, the Rás Mumhan committee asked local clubs to take charge of each day of the race.

Killarney Cycling Club hosted the Easter Saturday leg of the race, including managing the stage start in the town centre, the Category One mountain climb at Bealach Oisin Pass and the stage finish in Sneem.

“We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Easter and we wish all the riders the best of luck in their preparations for the event. Further details to follow as they are confirmed,” said Race Secretary Sinéad Moriarty.

Paula Moloney, from Dalton’s Avenue, Killarney, claimed four gold medals at the World Rowing Masters 2025 in Banyoles, Spain.

Competing in four different races with four different crews, Paula was the only female member of the Irish selection to achieve such a feat and the only Killarney woman on the team.
The event featured 10 races and 900 teams, with Ireland winning a total of four golds, three silvers, and one bronze. Paula, daughter of Ena and Mike Moloney, is also the niece of well-known local photographer Sean Kelly, and her brother Michael plays with Dr. Crokes GAA Club.
The Irish team, comprising rowers from clubs across the country, also won at the London (Oxford/Cambridge) Over-40s competition. The event showcased the strength and unity of Irish Masters rowing, with athletes from Cork, Limerick, Tralee, Skibbereen, Clonmel, Belfast, and UL joining forces under captain Donal Cronin.
