Ras na mBan international women’s stage cycle race has been located in Kilkenny this week where international vehicle rental company Europcar have once again supplied vans and large vehicles for a sixth consecutive edition.

The logistical demands of an event which takes in five days of racing across Kilkenny with stages in Laois and Wexford have been aided once again by support from the Europcar agents for Kilkenny, where the event has been based for an eighth year.

With six separate stages in five different locations across the week, the job of delivering start and finish line material is a complicated process aided again by Europcar.

Conor Brett of Europcar Kilkenny expressed his delight for their continued support of Ras na mBan, stating, “The race has become one of the highlights of the sporting calendar in Kilkenny County in recent years, and is the ideal fit to showcase Europcar’s award-winning ability to meet the needs of every vehicle renter.

It’s a logistical tour de force to move equipment, riders and officials around the country before, during and after the event. We’re proud to continue our support for Ireland’s only international women’s stage race and we wish all the athletes the very best in this year’s race.”

The 18th edition of Ras na mBan began on Wednesday 4th September and finishes on Sunday 8th taking in six separate stages totalling 400 kilometres.
