GAA Stars To Race The An Post Rás
 |
| Dublin Footballers Barry Cahill, Alan Brogan & Ross McConnell In Croke Park For The Launch Of Race The Rás |
The event is the brainchild of Eamonn O Muircheartaigh who has already attracted such well-known recently retired footballers, Ciarán Whelan, Anthony Rainbow, Paul Early and Graham Geraghty, and hurlers Tony Griffin, Paul Flynn, Dan Shanahan, Joe Dean and Seán óg óhAilpín.
The idea behind Race the Rás is to raise funds for a number of worthy cancer charities through the Irish Cancer Society and also the sporting charity GOAL. The main logo on the Race the Rás jersey will be the the “Sunsmart” logo which is promoting the Irish Cancer Society’s skin cancer awareness campaign which is run through the month of May.
The Race the Rás will begin on Sunday 22nd May at 8am in Dunboyne village as part of the Dunboyne cycling festival. GAA President Christy Cooney has agreed to start the Race the Rás challenge. More>>>
Tough And Tactically Demanding An Post Rás Route Launched In GPO
Featuring 28 categorised climbs, of which three are first category ascents, plus eight days of racing and a total of 1247 kilometres, the route of the 2011 An Post Rás has been unveiled. Just over three months remain until the May 22nd start of the race and there’s every indication that this year’s edition will be a close-fought, gripping battle of tactics and strength.
Beginning in Dunboyne and moving counter-clockwise around the country, the race will include stage finishes in locations such as Portumna, Kilrush, Castleisland, Castletownbere, Blarney, Tramore and Kildare. After battling through many counties and under all sorts of weather conditions, the riders will conclude things on Sunday May 29th with the now-customary, crowd-thronged finale in Skerries. More>>>
