Cycle Race To Finish in Blackrock Village

Cairde Rás Táilteann are delighted to announce details of the 2023 edition of the event. The race will again be a 5-day taking place from Wednesday, 17th of May to Sunday, 21st of May. Additional details of funding partners and sponsors will follow in due course. In general terms, this year’s edition features a tougher route than 2022 with lots of battlegrounds over the 5 stages.

Stage 5: Monaghan – Blackrock – Sunday 21st May

After a ceremonial start in the centre of Monaghan town, the riders will make their way through the towns of Ballybay, Shercock, Kingscourt, Drumconrath, Ardee, and Castlebellingham before passing onto a slightly tweaked and extended finishing circuit in Blackrock. The riders will complete 4 laps of an 11.1km circuit before they become men of the Rás 2023. Stage 5 also features one cat 3 climb at Meath Hill en route to Blackrock. After last years thrilling finale, more of the same is promised in the beautiful Co. Louth seaside town this time around.
