Event Description:

The Reservoir Dog Sportive is all about the riders. We do everything we can to give participants riding our event a uniquely challenging and rewarding experience on the bike with the backdrop of some of the most spectacular mountain roads in Ireland. It was voted the Best Leisure Event in Ireland 2019 in the Cycling Ireland membership awards. A fantastic accolade for a fantastic and special Sportive.

The Reservoir Dog Sportive has a very loyal following and we love to see many regulars from all around the country and beyond come back and join us every September at Russborough to test out their climbing legs. We also love to see new faces take on the challenge.

The event venue is the iconic palladian mansion of Russborough House in County Wicklow and is hosted by the Reservoir Cogs Cycling club based in nearby Blessington.

This year the 125km Dog covers the same route as last year on some of the most challenging climbs in Ireland whilst keeping to quiet and breathtaking scenic roads. Our 63km Pup route explores some new roads this year taking in a hilly and spectacular circuit of the Blessington Reservoir and introduces the rider to some hidden gems of roads  and an exciting new climb.

We pride ourselves in taking the best care of the riders with top-level support, with a great value for money experience. All proceeds raised by the Reservoir Dog Sportive are donated to charity to fund local Environmental enhancement and community projects. The Reservoir Dog Sportive is run with an environmentally sustainable ethos.
