Connolly Cycle Challenge 2016 Upcoming In May

The 1916 Societies with news of a cycle challenge.

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

Monies raised through the sponsored cycle go towards supporting essential work carried out in Scotland by registered charities working in our community. The 2016 Connolly Cycle Challenge is raising funds for The Connolly Foundation, a not for profit organisation based in working-class communities. The Connolly Foundation accept no state funding and rely on support from events like the Connolly Cycle Challenge.

Last year’s event was a huge success, both in terms of the money raised for charity and the enjoyment and sense of satisfaction of the participants. The 2016 Connolly Cycle Challenge will take place on Saturday 28th May.

Registration for 2016 is now open.
