The Tour de Burren is a widely celebrated mass participation cycling event that will take place on Saturday 22nd, June.
The Tour de Burren is Back and Better Than Ever!
Ireland’s Premier Cycle Sportive, Tour de Burren, returns on the 22nd June 2024.
The quiet power and beauty of the magnificent Burren landscape. The exhilaration of taking to the roads of the Wild Atlantic Way, the wind at your back. And the challenge of participating in an iconic cycling event that has pride of place on the sporting calendar. This is the legendary Tour de Burren – and we invite you to bring your passion and go for glory in the 2024 sportive.
Flying the flag for quality, hospitality and safety, the Tour de Burren offers thrilling new routes of breathtaking beauty, premium accommodation and a legendary local food culture for the win. It’s time to get into gear!
It’s no surprise that Cycling Ireland rated the Tour de Burren 9.7/10 as a leisure cycle event, while members of Cycling Ireland have given the Tour de Burren the title of The Best Leisure Cycling Event in Ireland – out of over 23 000 sportives.
Organised by the Burren Cycling Club, the sportive is open to all participants, each year bringing together over 2,200 regular and new cyclists – united in a passion to cross the beautiful countryside in the most exhilarating of ways: on two wheels.
The event takes place in the picturesque village of Barefield, County Clare. There’s a choice of routes which lead out into the Burren Geopark before looping back home along the incredible coastal road.
Almost as famous at the event itself are the epic Food Stops which treat entrants to locally produced and prepared food. From rich brown Irish soda bread and smoked salmon to the event’s famous cheesecake.
We look forward to welcoming you to Barefield on Saturday 22nd June.
