Three local hotels, the Arbutus Hotel, Randles Hotel, and The Victoria, will be joining a nationwide relay cycle along the Wild Atlantic Way to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society.

The 800km cycle challenge, organised by Original Irish Hotels, will take place from September 30 to October 7, starting in Baltimore, Cork, and ending in Dunfanaghy, Donegal. The event marks the 10th anniversary of the Wild Atlantic Way and aims to raise €50,000 for the charity.

Hotel staff, guests, and local suppliers from various Original Irish Hotels along the route will participate in the relay.

The teams will cycle approximately 100km per day, visiting 24 hotels, including Parknasilla Resort and Spa, Sneem, Fitzgerald Woodlands Hotel, Adare, Lough Inagh Lodge, Connemara, and Mill Park Hotel, Donegal.

Stephen Belton, Chairperson at Original Irish Hotels, said: "We wanted to create a challenge that not only brought our community together but also made a significant impact. The Irish Cancer Society is a worthy cause that has touched the lives of many in Ireland."
