Transaid announces Cork to Dublin cycle challenge

Transaid is embarking on an extraordinary adventure with its next European cycle challenge from 24th – 28th September 2025 – a three day, 328km cycle through the scenic southern roads of the Republic of Ireland.

A first for Transaid, the challenge will start in the historical city of Cork, located on the banks of the River Lee, before heading east towards the Republic of Ireland’s capital city, Dublin.

Passing through several counties, it will weave between lush farmland and stunning coastal roads, glimpsing the formidable Wicklow Mountains as it edges towards its goal and finishing point at the famous Wellington Monument, just west of Dublin’s bustling city centre.

Included: four nights’ accommodation, four breakfasts, three lunches, four dinners, vehicle and ride support, luggage transfer, bike transfer to and from Ireland, and GPX files for route guidance.

The minimum fundraising pledge is £1,750 and the registration fee is £149.

Founded by Save the Children, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), and its Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, Transaid shares over 25 years’ worth of expertise in 23 countries with partners and governments.

Transaid’s goal is to transform lives through safe, available and sustainable transport. “Every driver should be able to leave for a day’s work without the fear they may not come home because of a lack of training, or dangerous vehicles and roads. Nothing should prevent communities from accessing vital healthcare. Every person should have the opportunity to build the skills they need to transform their future.”
