Having already proven a huge success for the past two weeks, the Wild Atlantic Way Sportif is about to hit beautiful Donegal.

How the Wild Atlantic Way Sportif works
The format is very simple, with the event run on a course of just over 2,000km up the Wild Atlantic Way from Cork to Donegal broken down into 17 stages.
Each day of cycling ranges from 86km to 162km in length. The 17 stages combined totals 2,058km.
And those cyclists taking part can sign up for any number of stages – from one single day’s cycling to all 17 stages.
Organisers Ride Wild are providing all of the necessary logistical support for participating cyclists. Entry to the multi-day events will include accommodation, meals and official cycling kit.
The kit includes a cycling jersey and shower jacket.
Also provided to participating cyclists is a kit laundry service and bag transfers as well as paramedic and mechanical support. The costs for these services will be included in cyclists’ registration fee.
A single day entry costs €45. Multi day stages including overnight stay costs €90. The support services are included in the prices.
