Over 100

amateur cyclists get ready to hit the road for Tour de Munster 2018 in aid of Down Syndrome Ireland and individual beneficiaries.
As excitement builds for the annual four day Tour De Munster charity cycle, now in its 18th year, over 100 amateur cyclists are preparing take on the 600km cycle in the hope of raising over €250,000 for Down Syndrome Ireland and individual beneficiaries.

This year’s tour will be kicking off from City Hall in Cork City on Thursday, 9th August, and will return to Cork to see cyclists finish up the iconic and demanding St. Patrick’s Hill on Sunday, 12th August.

All funds raised from the charity cycle will go directly to the Munster branches of Down Syndrome Ireland (DSI) and to the individual beneficiaries involved. This year will mark the 9th successive year that DSI has been the main beneficiary of the cycle.

Travelling across all six counties in Munster, the amateur cyclists will make their way through a number of beautiful cities, towns and villages, where they hope they will be met and cheered on by the public who would like to support the cause. Joining them will be cycling legend Sean Kelly, who is a huge supporter of the event and has participated in the Tour de Munster for the past twelve years.

Since its inception in 2001, Tour de Munster has raised over €2.5 million for its beneficiaries with almost €2.1 million for DSI alone. Paul Sheridan, who established Tour de Munster, could not be prouder of the Tour and its many participants over the last 17 years.
