The cycle and its partner event the Wicklow 100 Challenge start in Bray, Co. Wicklow taking in many of the most iconic climbs in Ireland’s ‘Garden County’ in an event that is among the most arduous and most revered annual cycling events on the world calendar.
Organisers of the event The Irish Veteran Cyclists Association who have run this event at a local level for many years are now partnering with Elite Event Management to grow the event and bring more people to the region for this iconic cycle.

Oliver Kirwan, Event Director with Elite Event Management added, “We are delighted to team up with the IVCA and we are really looking forward to working with them on the Wicklow 200. The cycle is on one of the most stunning routes I’ve ever encountered and has a great reputation amongst cycling enthusiasts both nationally and internationally.”
Starting and finishing at Bray Emmets GAA Club the route takes the riders on some of the most famous climbs in the country such as Wicklow Gap, Glenmalure, Slieve Maan and Shay Elliott and through the stunning and picturesque villages of Rathdrum, Baltinglass, Enniskerry, Laragh amongst others.
Bray will be the scene of much celebration post-event. All participants will receive a customised medal, food, access to the Japanese hot tubs and there will be plenty of entertainment on hand to keep the after-party going all day and night.
