Marble City Cyclers host their annual charity sportive, Tour de Kilkenny, on the August bank holiday weekend each year. The 2026 edition is on Saturday 1st of August. Tour de Kilkenny has raised over €100,000 for local charities.
Tour de Kilkenny runs 77KM, 110KM and 160KM routes. There is a route to cater for cyclists of all abilities meaning this is a great day out for the family, a group of friends or work colleagues. Or why not make a weekend out of it and enjoy the famous nightlife and hospitalities that Kilkenny city has to offer.
This event is strictly online registration only. The ticket price for registration is €40 per entry.
Event sign on will take place at Kilkenny Rugby Club (R95 CH68) from 6PM to 8PM on Friday July 31st and on the morning of the event from 8AM. All entrants must sign on to collect their wristbands.
Start Time: 9AM for ALL routes
All routes start and finish at the Kilkenny Rugby Club.
Time Cut Off: There will be a cut off time at the Mullinavat junction for participants on the 160KM route. The time allotted will be generous. If participants do not reach this point in the allotted time they will be directed to take the shorter route back to Kilkenny Rugby Club by following the route of the 110KM challenge. Failure to take the marshals advice (i.e. continue on the 160KM route) will mean that support from marshals and maintenance vehicles will not be provided from that point on.
