Get ready to don your festive attire and deck the halls with joy! On Saturday, November 30th, organisers invite you to join them for the 15th Annual Christmas Cracker Cycle, a heartwarming event dedicated to supporting the vital services delivered to families all over Cork by Marymount Hospice.
“We’re delighted to have the spirited Sanita Puspure, our 3-time Olympian and 2-time World and European champion, to announce this merry adventure,” a spokesperson said.
Sanita officially kicked off the festivities on November 2nd at Marymount, aided by reps from many of the clubs that have loyally supported the Marymount Christmas Cracker Cycle over the years.
These clubs come together to make a positive impact for Marymount at Christmas, as they fundraise and compete to be nominated as the best supported club.
“Adding to the festive flair, 93-year-old Jack Callanan, a beloved neighbour of Sanita and a guiding light in our event’s history since 2011, joined us at the launch. Together with Sanita and a merry band of cyclists, they embody the community spirit that makes this event so special”.
This year, Marymount be offering prizes for Best Club and Best Costume – so unleash your creativity, deck yourself out in your most festive garb, and adorn your bikes with holiday decorations to spread joy along the route! With motorcycle marshals and support vehicles, our event will be well-signposted and safe for all participants.
Cyclists will be greeted with refreshments before they set off and welcomed back to Marymount with a feast of hot soup, sandwiches, and delightful festive treats – perfect for recharging after a day of cycling and celebration!
