Event end date: 16 May 2009
The organisers of the International North West 200 have nominated ChildLine, the NSPCC's free 24-hour confidential helpline for children and young people, as the event's official charity for their 80th Anniversary year.
Ireland’s biggest sporting spectacular attracts crowds in excess of 150,000 as well as the biggest names in the sport. The Kennedy International North West 200 circuit runs between the towns of Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine – an area of outstanding natural beauty and home to the world famous Giant’s Causeway.
Race week runs from Sunday 10 May – Saturday 16 May 2009 and is packed full of exciting fundraising activities to raise vital money for the development of our Foyle and Belfast ChildLine bases. There is something for everyone, and listed below are details on all our fundraising activities and how to get involved.
