Route 66 - Back for 2024!
Route 66 was the path of migrants, dreamers and desperados in the 1950’s and many of the route’s classic restaurants, gas stations and nostalgic landmarks are preserved, just as they were. The people, the stops and the scenery, all lend to the mixture that makes this wonderful road so beautifully addictive. And what better way to see it than on a motorcycle? This amazing motorcycle challenge has accumulated 750,000 miracle miles for Ireland’s finest children’s hospitals.
We are delighted to announce for 2024 our partner Aerogen, a world leader in acute care aerosol drug delivery, as the sponsor of our tour gear for Route 66.
Ciara Power, Global Corporate Communications Manager, Aerogen said, “We are delighted to partner with Children’s Health Foundation and while we will support from Ireland, Aerogen team members will also cheer the bikers on as they start their challenge close to our office in Chicago and another group celebrating them at the finish line. What a fantastic cause, and something so close to our hearts.”

Route 66 - Running since 2002
This is a bi-annual trip and it has been running since 2002. The total trip takes 14 days and will see our bikers and pillions travel through nine states and four different time zones. You will travel from Illinois through Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and finally California.
To be part of this magic, you need to have a full motorcycle driver’s licence and a passion for fundraising! Our bikers are asked to raise €10,000 to take part in this challenge of a lifetime. It might seem like an awful lot – but look at it this way – that’s 100 people donating €100! Not so bad?
