If you’re a cycling enthusiast we’ve some great news: The Celtic Challenge returns but this year we are headed to Ireland!

Following on from a fantastic trip across Scotland last year we have decided to organise a beautiful 445 mile cycle going ‘End to End’ from Malin Head in the North to Mizen Head in the South.

Throughout this week long adventure, riders will pedal through some of Ireland’s most breath-taking landscapes, charming towns, and historic sites. From the rugged landscape at Malin Head, to beautiful views of Lough Erne, a famous shrine in Knock and scenic backgrounds of the MacGillycuddy Reeks and the Kerry Mountains – there is no better way to explore the beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way than from your bike!

The Celtic Challenge is a great opportunity if you’re a keen cyclist looking to sign up for your first challenge; and if you’re a real cycling pro, this can be the perfect holiday for you to pedal with your pals whilst raising vital funds for our research to slow, stop or even reverse Parkinson’s.

It will be an amazing ride!
