Get ready to ride for a cause! The 31st Croí Corrib Charity Cycle is set to take place on Sunday, June 8th, 2025, and registration is now open. Croí, the heart and stroke charity, invites cyclists of all levels to take part in this much-anticipated annual charity event, helping to raise vital funds for preventative and lifesaving heart and stroke services.
This year, the event will again depart from Dangan Sports Pavilion in Galway City and finish at the Croí Heart and Stroke Centre on Moyola Lane, Newcastle.
Cyclists can choose from two scenic routes:
107km Route: A stunning coastal and countryside ride through Moycullen, Spiddal, Rossaveal, Maam Cross, Oughterard, and back to Galway City.
47km Route: A more relaxed but equally scenic journey via Moycullen, Oughterard, and back to Galway City.
Whether you’re an individual cyclist, part of a cycling club, or rallying your work colleagues, this is your chance to cycle for a great cause and support Croí’s mission to prevent heart disease and stroke. Every Euro raised will go directly towards lifesaving programs, educational outreach, and support services for those at risk or living with heart disease and stroke.
Christine Flanagan, Director of Fundraising at Croí Heart and Stroke Charity, shared:
“The Croí Corrib Charity Cycle is more than just an event – it’s a movement that brings people together to make a real difference in the fight against heart disease and stroke. We are calling on cyclists of all abilities to sign up, rally their friends or colleagues, and join us for a fantastic day of cycling, camaraderie, and community support.”
Phillip Monks, Chief Marketing Officer of Corrib Oil, added:
“We are delighted to once again support the Croí Corrib Charity Cycle and raise vital funds for preventative and lifesaving heart and stroke services. Having been involved since the very beginning, we’ve seen it go from strength to strength over 31 years. With route options for all abilities, I’d encourage cyclists to sign up for what is always a highlight in the Galway cycling calendar.”
