RWB miniSHOWEN 2026

Join us for a special day in the saddle as Racing Without Borders (RWB) hosts the Minishowen 100 Charity Cycle, raising funds for two incredible organisations: Transplant Sport Northern Ireland and Friends of the Cancer Centre.

This event is about far more than kilometres and climbing. It is a celebration of life, resilience, and community, inspired by the athletes and families who face transplant journeys and cancer treatment with extraordinary courage every day.

Starting from Ebrington Square in Derry, riders will take on a spectacular route around the Inishowen Peninsula, passing through some of the most iconic coastal roads and villages in the northwest including Fahan, Buncrana, Clonmany, Ballyliffin, Carndonagh, Quigley’s Point and Muff.

Expect stunning views, challenging climbs, and a warm welcome from the cycling community as we ride together for two causes that change lives across the North of Ireland.
