Participants will wear Santa suits and festive bike lights, transforming the route into a parade of sparkling, cycling Santas taking on the route through Limerick’s streets. Following the event, there will be finger food and refreshments served at The Hurlers Bar, where prizes will be awarded for early registration, best Santa costume, and most lit-up bike.

All funds raised will go directly to Milford Care Centre, a not-for-profit organisation providing exceptional palliative care and support to patients and families across Limerick and surrounding areas.
