The much‑loved Fort 2 Fort Charity Cycle returns for 2026, and this year promises to be the most exciting edition yet. Riders will once again set off from the breathtaking and historic Fort Camden in
Crosshaven, making their way toward the equally iconic Charles Fort in Kinsale, a route rich in scenery, challenge, and community spirit.
For 2026, cyclists can choose from three completely refreshed routes designed to suit a variety of fitness levels and goals:
60KM – A rewarding challenge for leisure cyclists
90KM – A balanced route for seasoned riders
120KM – A demanding course for those seeking a serious test
Every kilometre pedalled supports a vital cause. All proceeds from this year’s event go directly to Cork ARC Cancer Support House, an organisation that provides essential services to people and families affected by cancer across Cork. By taking part, you’re not just cycling you’re making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Fort 2 Fort 2026 blends community, challenge, and charity into one unforgettable day on the bike. Get ready to ride for a cause that truly matters.
Please note "Early Bird Entries" for all three routes are €45.00 until 30th April. Price is then increased to €55.00 until June 12th & then €60.00 on the day of the event (June 13th)
