Details confirmed for Rás na mBan 2025 - Kilkenny Live
Kilkenny cyclist Mia Griffin rode to victory in this year's event
Rás na mBan race organisers have announced the dates for the 19th edition of the Irish stage race in 2025.
Kilkenny cyclist Mia Griffin rode to victory in this year's staging of the event and cycling fans have already turned their attention to the 2025 edition.
As has been the custom for many the years, Ireland's top international stage race will be a five-day event occupying its usual early Autumn slot of the first week of September ahead of both the World and European Road Championships.
Next year's event will start on Wednesday, September 3 and run through to Sunday, September 7.
The 2024 edition of the event featured riders from 13 nations representing 21 continental and club teams of five riders doing battle on the roads of Ireland's Ancient East around Kilkenny, Laois, and Wexford.
Teams travelled from across Europe and the USA, with riders hailing from as far away as New Zealand.
"We have completed our post event review and are already working on route details for next year," Race Director Valerie Considine commented.
"We're already significantly further ahead on event planning than this time last year and we look forward to welcoming old friends and new to Ireland next September," she added.
"Continuity and consistency are key objectives for us in staging Rás na mBan and we hope that retaining the same dates and announcing early will be of benefit to teams in planning their season programmes."
