The Tour de France will bring it’s iconic L’Etape event to Ireland this September giving up to 3,000 cyclists the chance to sample the unique thrills and challenge of a Tour de France stage in Ireland for the first time.

Designed and vetted by the team behind the Tour de France, two routes, starting in Killarney, Co Kerry, will take in some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery and epic climbs where cyclists can experience the Tour De France on their own terms.

L’Etape Ireland is the 32nd race to be added to the global calendar and takes place on September 7th, 2024. The event was announced today with race ambassadors and Irish cyclists Imogen Cotter and Dan Martin.

Riders can choose from two routes with different elevation and distance profiles; a 100km route or a more challenging 135km route. Inspired by the Tour De France, both routes will have three timed Mountain stages taking in iconic climbs across Molls Gap, Ballaghbearna Pass and Caragh Lake to compete for the title of King and Queen on the mountain and a coveted Polka Dot jersey. There will also be a Sprint section where participants can battle it out for a Tour De France Green jersey.

Beyond the race, participants can look forward to exhibitors, shows, a pop-up Tour de France Museum, athlete meet and greets and more on the day.

Both routes will be on closed or partially closed roads and the race and its participants will be monitored by safety officials throughout.

Registration opens 13th March.

Those seeking to experience the thrill of a Tour de France race are encouraged to register for early access to sign-ups at https://ireland.letapebytourdefrance.com
