Reliability Run 2026


The countdown is officially on — and if you’ve been waiting for the perfect reason to dust off the good bike, stretch the legs, and get back out on the open road… this is it!

Winter is nearly behind us, and the first big marker of the cycling calendar is just around the corner.  

 

The Emyvale Cycling Club Reliability Run returns for 2026, and whether you’re sharpening early-season form or simply easing back into the saddle, this is the spin that gets the cycling community buzzing again.

 

Why this event Is the Ideal Season Kick-Off

Our annual 67km Emyvale Reliability Run isn’t just a route — it’s a tradition.  A chance to blow off those winter cobwebs, rebuild the miles, and enjoy a proper day out with fellow cyclists of all levels.

 

Here’s what makes it special:

  • All riders welcome — all abilities, no exclusions

  • Ride at your own pace or settle into a group that suits your comfort level

  • Experienced ride leaders on the road keeping things safe, steady, and enjoyable

  • Hot lunch afterwards — because after 67km, you’ve earned it!

 

Whether you're a club regular, a weekend warrior, or someone looking to start the year with a challenge, this run is designed for you.

It’s the perfect mix of steady roads, scenic stretches, and enjoyable rolling miles to wake up the legs and kickstart your 2026 cycling season. Ride at your pace — push on if you’re feeling sharp, or simply savour the journey with friends old and new.

 

🎁 Presentation to St. Vincent de Paul

And as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the local community, Emyvale Cycling Club will take the opportunity to make a presentation to our local St. Vincent de Paul representatives.  We are proud to donate over €1,400 raised through our most recent charity events.
