The Irish Veteran Cyclists’ Association (IVCA) has extended its sponsorship of the An Post Rás na mBan as the race prepares to move to Co Clare this year.

For the second year in succession, the IVCA will back the Queen of the Mountains competition in the international five-day race.

After five years in Kerry, An Post Rás na mBan will move to a new base in Co Clare for this year’s event which runs from September 11th to 15th.

The race will be based in Ennis in 2013 from where it will take in six stages in five days.

"We are delighted with the renewed and vital support from the IVCA which plays a key role in the continuation of an event that will mark 27 years of international women’s stage racing in Ireland,” said race director Valerie Considine.

Details of further sponsorships, as well as the route, will follow in the months ahead.
