Tour de Munster will roll into town for Down Syndrome Ireland
The 24th Tour de Munster charity cycle will visit local landmarks as it passes through town on Saturday next.
The 15th running of the 600km cycle gets underway next Thursday in Cork City.
This year's Tour marks a significant occasion as the renowned charity cycle will contribute to the Munster branches of Down Syndrome Ireland for the 15th consecutive year.
The third stage of the five-day event starts in Tralee on Saturday morning and will visit Dingle, Castlemaine and Milltown.
Cyclists will stop off at the famous viewing spot at Aghadoe around 3 pm before visiting Deenagh Lodge a short time later. The café at Deenagh Lodge is operated by the Kerry branch of Down Syndrome Ireland.
“We are incredibly excited for this year’s Tour de Munster and we wish all the participants the best of luck and hope they have an amazing and safe experience,” said John O’Connor of Down Syndrome Kerry.
“It’s a fantastic event that brings the community together and raises much-needed funds for our branches. The support from the cyclists and the public is invaluable, enabling us to provide essential services and support for our members.”
Since its inception in 2000, the Tour de Munster has raised a staggering €5 million for Down Syndrome Ireland.
Cycling legend Sean Kelly, a long-standing supporter of Tour de Munster will take part in the four-day expedition.
