Previous Cycle to Lourdes
Our Cycle to Lourdes is held every second year. This unique biennial event brings together great people and forges lifelong friendships. Our 2026 Cycle is limited to 90 people including cyclists and support crews.
Everyone participating in the Cycle must raise sponsorship and separately pay their own fare. The funds raised pay for the young people pilgrimage holidays while our team of volunteers who support and care for them pay their own fares. This ensures maximum value is derived from the funds raised, ensuring they go directly to benefit our special young people.
For more information please contact James McHugh by email at jmchugh@irishpilgrimagetrust.com or call +353 (0)91 79 66 22.

Fundraising Event
The Way of St. James is the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where legend has it that the remains of the apostle, Saint James the Great, are buried.
The Way of St James was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times. Legend has it St. James' remains were carried by boat from Jerusalem to northern Spain where they were buried on the site of what is now the city of Santiago de Compostela.
There are many pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. However, The Irish Pilgrimage Trust walks along the ancient pilgrim path, known as Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. The route was proclaimed the first European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe in October 1987 and was also named one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 1993.
