Race, sportive organisers must apply now to Cycling Ireland
Cycling Ireland has opened the application system for those organising races and leisure events next year.
With some races having moved around the calendar a little this year, there will likely be high demand from the majority of event organisers to secure their preferred dates.
Some of the early season races were moved to later in the year on the road racing scene this year.
And in at least one case an organiser decided against holding their usual races because their preferred dates were denied to them.

“Similarly, commissions may review and approve, or reject, within its discipline. The applicant for any event rejected must be advised of the rejection and reasons for such.
“All approved events will be reviewed by the Events Officer who will be responsible for establishing and publishing the full Cycling Ireland calendar, by province and discipline.
“Events submitted after the closing date will have no priority in the allocation of dates.”
