The 24th annual edition of the Tour de Munster charity cycle was officially launched by cycling legend Seán Kelly and the event, which will place from August 8-11, will see amateur cyclists travel 600km across the six counties of Munster in efforts to raise vital funds for the Munster branches of Down Syndrome Ireland.
The four-day trek through the towns and villages of Munster is no easy feat but cyclists are motivated and driven by their shared goal of raising much-needed funds and awareness for the chosen charity.
Since its inception in 2000, the Tour de Munster has raised a staggering €5 million for the Munster branches of DSI.

All of the money raised will help to provide the crucial support and services offered by DSI Munster branches to their members with vital services include speech and language therapy, employment opportunities, occupational therapy and other life enhancing aids.
CEO of DSI, Nichola Aylward, told the cyclists: “Our members feel the impact of your efforts every day, in the supports and services Tour de Munster helps us to provide.
“We can’t wait to reconnect with old friends and familiar faces, as well as all those joining us for the first time for Tour de Munster 2024. Each and every participant and supporter is worth their weight in gold”.
