The supercar spectacle known as the Cannonball Run will travel from Malahide in Dublin down the M8 with their first refuel stop at Circle K, Fermoy off Junction 14 where the cars will be regrouping and spectators will have a chance to get up close and personal with the supercars.

There will be top mark cars in the run on Friday, September 6 including McLaren, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche, Maserati, Rolls Royce and Bentley and it is hoped that the 2019 run will raise thousands of euros for the Irish Cancer Society.

From Circle K Fermoy they will continue towards Ballymaloe via Castlelyons where they will take another pitstop at 2pm.

After their stop at Ballymaloe which is due to draw a lot of visitors, the cars will travel on to Killarney before continuing up the West of Ireland through Limerick, Mayo, Sligo and onto Meath. 

The run begins on Friday, September 6 and continues until September 8 with over 190,000 people expected to line the streets all around Ireland. 

This year, organisers are looking for novelty cars, muscle cars and classics as well as supercars so check out www.cannonball.ie to register your interest and check routes and all details.
