The Connolly Cycle Challenge is a fantastic experience and great way to raise money for community projects.

Monies raised through the sponsored cycle go towards supporting essential work carried out in Scotland by registered charities working in our community. The 2022 Connolly Cycle Challenge raised funds for The Connolly Foundation. A not for profit organisation based in working class communities. The Connolly Foundation accepts no state funding so relies on support from events like the Connolly Cycle Challenge.

Last years event was a huge success both in terms of the money raised for good causes and the enjoyment and sense of satisfaction of the participants.
