The Cannonball Ireland 2024 Charity road run, takes place this year from the 6th to 8th of September and will see some 200 supercars complete the 1000 km course. 

Over the years, the run has raised over €1.6 million for Irish charities and this year it has partnered with The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. As part of this, Circle K will be making a donation of 1 cent for every litre of miles and milesPLUS fuel sold. 

The 2024 event starts at the Johnstown Estate in Enfield, Co. Meath on Thursday September 5th, where the new Lamborghini Revuelto will make its Irish debut. The supercar pack will leave on Friday, heading to Wexford via Kilkenny and Gorey. 

On Saturday 7th, the route takes in Kilcullen, Enniskerry, and finishes in Salthill, Co. Galway. The final sees the cars travelling from Galway to Trim, with stops in Athlone and Mohill. 

Along the way there is plenty of music and what organisers call a carnival atmosphere, where fancy dress is encouraged. 

Spectators are encouraged to join the fun by dressing up in fancy dress, with prizes awarded for the best costumes.

Deirdre Walsh, CEO of Jack and Jill, comments, “There are so many ways people can get involved in this brilliant fundraiser to support Jack and Jill families in their local community, whether it’s showing up along the route and popping a few Euro in our collection buckets, volunteering to help our fundraising effort, supporting our exciting inaugural ‘Cannonball Fundraising Grand Prix,’ or simply filling up at your nearest Circle K; every cent makes a difference.”
