Heart and stroke charity Croí has announced today that registration is now open for the 2023 Croí Corrib Charity Cycle in Galway City on Sunday, 18 June.
The starting point for the cycle will be Dangan Sports Pavilion in Galway City this year and it will finish at Croí Heart & Stroke Centre in Newcastle.
By registering, participants will help support Croí in the fight against heart disease and stroke, with all funds going directly to supporting Croí services.
The charity thanked the event’s primary sponsor, Corrib Oil, which has supported the cycle since the very first fundraiser in 1995.
Cyclists will have two scenic routes to choose from, which will suit all abilities.
The 107km route departs from Dangan Sports Facility Carpark (adjacent to University of Galway), via Moycullen, Spiddal, Rossaveal, Maam Cross, Oughterard, Moycullen, and finishes back in Croí House, Newcastle in Galway City.
The 47km route departs from Dangan Sports Facility Carpark, via Moycullen, Oughterard, back through Moycullen, and finishes at Croí House, Newcastle, Galway City.
Christine Flanagan, Director of Fundraising at Croí, said that they are delighted to bring the cycle back home to Galway City.
“We appreciate the loyalty shown by the cyclists who return year-after-year to take part in aid of Croí – this cycle is synonymous with Croí and one of our longest running events.
“All funds raised are vitally important to us to ensure that we can continue our work at Croí and will help us to keep delivering our lifesaving programmes and continue the fight against heart disease and stroke.”
The registration fee is €55, and all participants will receive a special souvenir T-shirt, as well as full route support, mechanical support, food throughout the day, including a post-event burger and party at the finish point at Croí Heart & Stroke Centre in Newcastle.
Registrants who raise an additional €50 or more will receive a limited edition Croí Corrib Charity Cycle jersey and will be in with a chance to win a bike worth over €1,000, courtesy of Westside Cycles.
