2020 Rás postponed until later this year

The 2020 Rás Tailteann is the latest high-profile sports event postponed.

Following the recent developments and recommendations from Cycling Ireland, the UCI, the HSE, Sport Ireland and the Government, Cáirde Rás Tailteann has decided to postpone the 2020 Rás Tailteann.

The event was due to return to the roads of Ireland in June 2020 after a hiatus in 2019.

This is directly as a result of accelerating developments relating to the Covid-19 virus pandemic.

"Considering the nature of the public health emergency Ireland and the world is currently dealing with and the progressive evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cáirde Rás Tailteann has decided that it is in the best interests of everyone associated with the event and the wider public to temporarily postpone the 2020 event from its planned start date on 10th June 10th" said  2020 Race Director Eugene Moriarty.
