Stage of International Dornan Rás Mumhan to pass through County Limerick
Dornan Rás Mumhan goes from Asdee to Knockanure and passes through Ballylongford, Tarbert, Glin and Athea
THE International Dornan Rás Mumhan 2026 passes through County Limerick this Good Friday, April 3.
The Rás Mumhan takes place this Easter weekend with four days of elite racing across Kerry, Cork and Limerick, supported by a €17,000 prize fund and a confirmed start list of over 150 riders.
This year’s edition welcomes international teams from Norway, the Netherlands, and Britain, joining Ireland’s strongest domestic squads and underlining the race’s growing international prestige.
Racing begins on Good Friday with two stages.
First up is the Team Time Trial from Ballybunion to Asdee.
Next up on Friday is Stage 1B from Asdee to Knockanure, which passes through Ballylongford, Tarbert, Glin and Athea.
Race director John Breen expressed pride in the race’s evolution and deep appreciation for the people who make it possible.
“To see Rás Mumhan develop into a truly international event is something that gives me immense pride. Each year, the standard rises as more teams from across Europe choose to race here, and that growth is matched by the tireless commitment of our volunteers and committee. They are the heartbeat of this event. Their dedication allows us to deliver the very best race possible for the riders, and it’s because of them that Rás Mumhan continues to thrive on the international stage,” he said.
Dornan Group managing director Micheál O’Connor said: “As a company with strong roots in Munster, supporting an event of this calibre is important to us. Rás Mumhan is built on preparation, determination and teamwork, qualities that align with how we operate at Dornan.”
“This race has long been recognised as a proving ground for emerging cycling talent, but just as importantly, it brings communities together, creating a shared sense of pride and connection that extends well beyond the competition itself.”
