Paris2Nice
Paris2Nice is a non-competitive charity cycle that takes place every year in September by amateur cyclists.
The cycling event takes place over six days, every year, starting off in the beautiful city of Paris and finishing on the iconic Promenade des Anglais in Nice, around 4pm Sept 7th.
The Paris2Nice is a major fundraiser for Irish charities as 100% of funds raised go directly to the cyclist’s chosen charity.
Enda’s chosen charity is “The Atlantic Youth Trust”, which he co-founded in 2013. The mission of the charity is to connect youth with ocean and adventure. Together with developing sustainability and supporting and protecting the environment.
The charity brings youths from around Ireland, North and South, to learn about the ocean, sustainability and leadership – when they take a 10 day voyage on the “Grace O’Malley” tall ship.

Paris2Nice the big picture
September 1 – 7, France and Ireland
Paris2Nice is a non-competitive charity cycle that takes place every year in September.
It is a major fundraiser for Irish charities as 100% of funds raised go directly to the cyclist’s chosen charity.
The cycling event takes place over six days during the month of September every year starting off in the beautiful city of Paris and finishing on the iconic Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
Fundraising is an important aspect of the Paris2Nice experience and as well as paying for their own participation costs, all participants must raise a minimum of €3,000 for their own chosen charity.
Previous Paris2Nice participants have fundraised beyond their expectations and in the past 10 years upwards of 400 amateur cyclists have raised over €4,500,000 for multiple charities.
This exceptional level of fundraising was achieved through the support and encouragement of other team members and the Paris2Nice organisation.
