Gravel

Following on from the 2025 Agreement between Coillte and Cycling Ireland to allow Gravel Cycling Events on Coillte’s forest road network, and the successful first phase execution of these events by our Clubs and Approved Promoters during the second half of 2025, we are pleased to be able to open applications for 2026 events to be operated under the same licencing agreement.

This is phase 2 of the scheme and will be used to further test and improve the application process that leads to successful events that promote both organisations including:

Building a sustainable model for future Gravel Cycling events in Ireland. Offer high-quality gravel riding experiences for Cycling Ireland members. Be managed in a sustainable manner that considers other recreational users and Coillte objectives, including management of forest operations, biodiversity and reaction infrastructure. Support local Cycling Clubs and Cycling Ireland members across the country.
