2024 Ballycastle CC Annual Sportive

Cycle through the Glens with Ballycastle Cycling Club

Ballycastle Cycling Club host their 9th annual sportive on Saturday 7th September 2024. All funds raised this year will go to Marie Curie.  Marie Curie give care and support to people living with any terminal illness, and their families, bringing light in the darkest hours.

On the day cyclists can choose between two routes (81km and 121km) through the scenic Glens of Antrim and North Coast. Leisure cyclists can enjoy the 81km circuit while the longer 121km loop will offer the more experienced cyclist challenging climbs and fast descents to test their level of fitness. Routes will be marshalled with motorbike outrider, food stops, broom wagon and first aid support on-site.

The sportive leaves McQuillan GAC, Páirc MacUílín, 14-18 Whitepark Road, Ballycastle, Co. Antrim, BT54 6HA on Saturday 7th September 2024 at 9am.  Sign-on will be online. Car parking, changing and shower facilities, and refreshments are available on site.
