About the RNLI
In 2025 lifeboats across the island of Ireland launched 967 times from its 46 lifeboat stations, bringing 912 people to safety, 17 of whom were lives saved. 280 of those launches were carried out in the hours of darkness.
Our volunteer crews are always ready to respond to a call for help but we can only do what we do thanks to the public’s generosity. Every launch represents someone in urgent need — and our volunteers drop everything to help.
Events like this fun cycle are simple, safe opportunities for the public to get behind what we do and ensure we have the equipment and training needed for whatever comes next.
About the Greenway
The new 23km Greenway is a paved cycleway providing a safe, accessible and attractive route on an easy gradient, which is suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities.
Event Registration 🎟️
Registration is open on Eventbrite and on the Youghal RNLI iDonate Event page which can also be found from our station socials – Facebook, Instagram.
Meet the local lifeboat crew, join their families and friends for what promises to be a great day of sport and craic.
