Mizen to Malin 2024

Come join us on our annual Mizen2Malin Cycle 2024 – a truly unforgettable journey through Ireland’s most scenic destinations whilst providing invaluable support to those living with sight loss and the families of children with autism.

“One of the most amazing and memorable weeks of my entire life.” – Ray Kennedy, Tipperary

The cycle, now running for more than 20 years, was set up by Dublin man Eamonn Linnane in memory of his late father, Paddy Linnane, a Guide Dog owner and supporter of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind. So far, more than €1.3million has been raised for the charity.

This is the only charity cycle of its kind that is inclusive of people who are visually impaired and this is what makes the cycle so special for all of us.

Relax and leave the logistics to us! We take care of the 4-star accommodation, breakfast, baggage transfer, evening meals, mechanics, physio and support crew.

Accommodation is on a shared twin room basis, unless specifically requested otherwise where a supplement applies.

A deposit of €100 secures your place on the Mizen2Malin Cycle 2024.

“A brilliant week from start to finish. Support crew were very professional in their approach at all times. Lovely people, fantastic cycling with stunning views. Personally, the best trip I have taken part in so far. Thanks to all involved in creating such an incredible trip for such a worthy cause.” Ronan Davidson, Wicklow
