Brief Description of the Race
Race Around Ireland is part of the Ultra Marathon
Cycling Association (UMCA) World Cup series which
includes other huge endurance races such as The Race
Across America.
 
Unlike other cycling races such as the RÁS or the
Tour de France, the course is in no way roped off.
There are no marshals controlling traffic flow and there
are no planned rest stops or stages in this event.
Once the clock starts in Navan at the starting time, it
won’t stop until each rider reaches the finish line at the
end of the 2,100 km circuit.
Time Stations will be set approximately 40 to 80 miles
apart. At each Time Station, the crew call into Race
Headquarters and report the racers location and time.
This information will be posted on the Race Around
Ireland website and it will allow the officials the racers
followers to track the cyclists progress.
