The Tour de Ballyfinnane charity cycle returns on Saturday, April, 18 with two routes designed for cyclists of all abilities.

Departing from Ballyfinnane Community Hall at 10 am, participants can choose between a 70 km course or a shorter 45 km option.

Registration is available online at www.tourdeballyfinnane.ie or in person at the hall from 8 am to 9:45 am on the morning of the event.

Now a fixture on the local sporting calendar, the cycle concludes with a barbecue and refreshments at The Shanty, an aspect of the day that has become a major draw for both riders and supporters.

Proceeds from this year’s event are earmarked for essential upgrades at Ballyfinnane Community Hall. Built in 1984 through voluntary local labour, the hall remains a central hub for yoga, dancing, and music sessions.

The immediate fundraising priority is the installation of wheelchair-accessible toilets to ensure the facility meets modern inclusive standards.

Creative Bathrooms is the main sponsor for the 2026 edition. Local businesses wishing to provide further sponsorship or support can contact the organising committee via the Tour de Ballyfinnane Facebook or Instagram pages.
