Notice: Christmas Cracker Cycle - Sat 3rd Dec 2022

The Annual Christmas Cracker Cycle is on Sat 3rd December 2022. Start and finish at Marymount. All proceeds go to Marymount Hospice Cork.

There is no event registration fee as participants are instead asked to make a voluntary donation. Marymount needs to raise over €3.0m each year to continue providing vital services so the organisers are hoping for a huge turnout of generous participants and appealing to all Cork clubs and cyclists to join them for this year’s edition. Every participant will be helping Marymount with its vital mission and hopefully share in a greater sense of the meaning of Christmas.

Participants are encouraged to register online and can collect wristband with emergency number on the morning.

Where? - On Sat 3rd Decemeber 2022 at Marymount, Curraheen Road, Cork T12 A710. Plan is to have tent at back of hospital.

What time? - The official start for main group is 10.00am but desks will be open from 8.30 for those that want to head out earlier.
