Gordon Bennett Classic Car Run

Join us for an historic journey through the Irish Countryside on the Gordon Bennett Irish Classic Car Run
While the famous Gordon Bennett Route was raced by the world's greatest daredevils at record-breaking speeds in 1903, we suggest you set yourself a much easier pace.

Relax, get your motor running and follow in the footsteps of our motoring pioneers taking time to enjoy the breath-taking scenery along the way.

This fun run takes place over the May Bank Holiday with the midland County of Laois in Ireland as the event base. Also covering other Counties including Carlow and Kildare, all three of which were chosen for the original 1903 race. This historic route offers visitors many interesting and scenic locations in the region, while celebrating and discovering “The Race that saved Motor Sport”.

Our package includes entry to the Gordon Bennett Irish Classic Run, which starts on the Friday and runs through to Monday. Entry also includes the Gala Dinner and all of the other organised activities during the event.
