Legendary climbs including Sally Gap, Wicklow Gap, Shay Elliott, and Slieve Mann.
Ride through the heart of Ireland’s beautiful and challenging Garden County.
Mechanical assistance, feed stations, marshals, and medical support along the route.
Professional organisation, start/finish facilities, and a commemorative finisher’s medal.
Two distances. One unforgettable day in the Wicklow Mountains. The Wicklow 200 and 100 takes you through the most iconic climbs and breathtaking landscapes of Ireland’s Garden County, from Sally Gap and Wicklow Gap to Shay Elliott and Slieve Mann. Running since 1982, it’s one of the most revered sportives in Ireland, and whichever route you choose, you’ll ride with the same full support, the same atmosphere and the same finish line.
The Wicklow 200 is the big one: 200 kilometres of climbing, descending and spectacular scenery that make it a genuine test of endurance. If you want a day that pushes you to your limit and a finisher’s medal that means something, this is it.
The Wicklow 100 shares much of the same stunning route on the same day, with the same feed stations, mechanics, marshals and medical cover. It’s the perfect goal if you’re building up to your first big sportive, coming back from a break, or just want the Wicklow experience with a bit more room to enjoy it. It’s a serious ride in its own right, not a consolation prize.
Held every June, the event brings together thousands of cyclists from across Ireland and around the globe, with over 150 volunteers keeping you fed, safe and cheered on all day. Pick your distance, start training, and we’ll see you at the start line.

We receive countless email and Facebook messages every year telling us just how much the efforts of our volunteers are appreciated and how important they are to the cyclists.
There is no doubt that our volunteers make the Wicklow 200 the brilliant event it is!
If you’d like to help out at the Wicklow 200, roles for volunteers vary depending on location, time of day and skills.
Out on the road most junctions are marshalled along the 100km and 200km routes so we need lots of volunteers to guide and encourage riders.
Help is also always appreciated at our feed stations.
If you have any specialised skills — first aid, mechanical, catering please let us know.
