The West Cork Emergency Services & Friends Charity Cycle is now called “The Wild Atlantic Mizen Cycle”. The event will be held on Saturday the 9th July 2016.

See the stunning scenery of West Cork by cycling the Wild Atlantic Way around the Mizen and Sheeps Head Peninsulas. There are two routes, 130k and 100k, starting and finishing in Bantry.

The Wild Atlantic Mizen Cycle is organised by the West Cork Emergency Services & Friends, primarily made up of members of An Garda Síochána, Cork County Fire Service, HSE Ambulance Service, West Cork Civil Defence, The Red Cross and The Irish Coastguard. The Cycle is run to raise funds for local charities; with the help of our many Sponsors we ensure that practically every cent raised goes to the charities.

Beneficiaries of this years cycle are:
Bantry Hospice Project
The Ray Murnane Rehab Fund
West Cork Down Syndrome Support Group
Schull Community Inshore Rescue Service

Registration will be opening in the next few days via our Facebook page and also via this website.
