Sunday 27th is promising to be a great day weatherwise. How about a family fun day out combined with a bit of sports photography?
The Ras comes to Skerries for the final stage on Sunday 27th May. The End Stage Race of 2012 An Post Rás Cycling event will be welcomed into Skerries in North County Dublin for a record 7th consecutive year on Sunday 27th May 2012.
A massive Street Party kicks off the day at 12:30pm with a range of activities for all ages including street games, funfair, farmer’s market stalls, with home-made goodies and crafts, music and dance, face-painting & magic shows. Over 50 community and volunteer groups and schools will be involved. It is hoped that thousands will once again line the streets for a stirring end to this gruelling round-Ireland race.
Visitors are especially welcome to make a real day of it in this charming seaside town; Bring the family with your buckets and spades for a day on the beach; take a bracing walk on the head and watch seals basking off Red Island; Relax over lunch with a sea view in one of the many harbour side venues; or simply take a coffee break in one of our unique pavement cafes.
At around 3pm join us on Strand Street to share the thrills and excitement and cheer with the crowd as the cyclists race through the town three times battling it out for the yellow jersey
Or something completely different: FAMILY FUN CYCLE EVENT – SATURDAY 26th MAY
