NTW Open Road Race 2019

Road Racing returns to North Tipp

Big time cycle racing returns to North Tipperary this Sunday with the second running of the North Tipp Wheelers Open Road Race.

The inaugural event last year received widespread acclaim for the course, the organization and hospitality afforded the riders who had traveled from all over the country.

The local club received a boost this year with the event being offered an even better slot on the Cycling Ireland calendar as it is now positioned at a perfect time of the year when most of our top cyclists are reaching their peak during a busy racing season.

Once again race headquarters will be McDonagh Park, Cloughjordan, a venue which is ideal in terms of access, hosting and parking. The event will see the country’s top cyclists battling it out against each other over the course from Cloughjordan to Nenagh, Toomevara and Moneygall before returning to start/finish line.

There will be three races on the day; the elite A1 and A2 riders will cover three laps, the second grouping involves the A3 and Junior riders who also cover three laps and the A4 cyclists will race two laps.
