Kerry Group Rás Mumhan is gearing up for the 2020 edition, of over 500km, with renewed financial backing from Kerry Group.
With the winds of the recession linger
in domestic and international cycling, the support of the food group is more
important than even to the Easter Weekend showpiece in The Kingdom.
Race director Tadhg Moriarty and his
team are promoting the race over four stages from the usual Good Friday to
Easter Monday period; April 10th to 13th.
The event will be based in Killorglin
again, for the twentieth consecutive year. And while the route is not yet
announced, over 500kms await the riders during four stages of road racing.
Teams will be made up for five riders
and prior will be given to those teams with the highest number of A1 riders.

No more than two A3s will be permitted
per team, of which there will be a maximum 40 allowed in the race this year.
