RNLI Lap the Lake 2024

This year cyclists can choose between a 120km or a 65km route. The longer route will take you on a full circuit of Lough Derg giving participants the chance to cycle through three counties, Tipperary, Clare and Galway.

The shorter route will take you just beyond Killaloe to a turnaround point at Killaloe Sailing Club. The scenery along the way is unparalleled and gives participants a chance to appreciate the beauty of the River Shannon. There is one big climb up Portroe hill to challenge you but it is short and sweet and before you know it you will be flying down the other side.

After your break in Portuma the route becomes undulating, providing plenty of small hills to keep you working hard right up to the last kilometre.

On your return to the Lifeboat Station at Lough Derg Yacht Club in Dromineer you can relax and enjoy some food and some well-earned drinks.

Please note there will be no ticket sales on the day.

The event will start and finish at Lough Derg Yacht Club, Dromineer, Co. Tipperary E45 NY60.
