Friends of the Cancer Centre’s Newry Canal Cycle is set to be the perfect day out for family and friends, giving people the opportunity to soak up the rich heritage and beautiful surroundings of the canal while raising vital funds for Friends of the Cancer Centre along the way. With two routes to choose from there is something to suit cyclists of all abilities. Route A is a 38 mile cycle starting in Portadown, making its way along the towpath to Newry and then returning to Portadown. Route B is a 21 mile cycle starting in Portadown, making its way along the towpath to Poyntzpass before returning to Portadown. Registration is £5 and each person is asked to raise a minimum sponsorship of £50. www.friendsofthecancercentre.com
