Rás na nÓg 2019

After our Youths epic weekend in Scotland and the Waller Cup they will be back in action aging this weekend but a bit closer to home!

Rás na nÓg is the premier annual stage race event for Ireland’s elite youth riders. It is a two day, three stage event with race headquarters located at Bellewstown Racecourse, County Meath.

"This is the 12th edition of Rás na nÓg, first started in 2007. Participants and winners have gone on to become renowned international cyclists, world tour riders, European and World medallists. Although there must be winners (and losers!), Rás na nÓg aims to develop every youth cyclist and allow them the opportunity tochallenge themselves during the weekend.This race is not just about the winners, or the losers, Rás na nÓg focuses on keeping our youths interested in the sport and making sure they progress to junior and senior with the same interest that they have now!"
