The organisers of the Bumblebee 1000 Supercar charity road run have announced a new event, the ‘Talladega Nights’ Road Trip, scheduled for June 13-15.

This event will bring a convoy of 100 high-performance vehicles to Kerry, with Killarney’s Hotel Europe serving as the base for the weekend.

All money raised from the ‘Talladega Nights’ Road Trip will go to Little Blue Heroes. This charity is run by An Garda Síochána and provides support for sick children. To date, Bumblebee 1000 has raised over €608,649 for Little Blue Heroes.
The three-day trip begins in Dublin on Friday, June 13, making its way through Kildare, Tipperary, and Limerick before finishing Day One in Tralee.
On Saturday, June 14, the convoy will traverse the Ring of Kerry, with a fuel stop in Caherciveen and lunch in Sneem, before arriving at the Lewis Road Car Park in Killarney Town.
Sunday, June 15, will see the cars depart from the Europe Hotel in Killarney, heading through Cork before finishing in Portlaoise.
