Tandragee 100 green light as organisers confirm 2025 dates and sponsorship boost

The event was last held in 2022, with the issue over surface conditions ultimately forcing its cancellation in the past two seasons.

Progress around resurfacing work was announced earlier this month and now a statement from North Armagh Motorcycle & Car Club (Tarmac Section) Ltd has confirmed Around-A-Pound as title sponsor for next summer’s event.

“The announcement comes as preparations begin to pick up the pace for the event, which is scheduled to take place on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th June 2025,” included the statement. “The local company, established by Gerard and Siobhan Rice in 1999, are once again showing their support for the Around-A-Pound Tandragee 100 National Road Race, having been key sponsors for the event since 2005.”

North Armagh club secretary Anne Forsythe added how “Gerard and Siobhan have been very supportive towards both the club and the event for nearly 20 years, and we are thrilled to be continuing that relationship in 2025”.

"The event just would not be the same without them, they have not only contributed significantly in a financial way since 2005, but been ‘hands on’ with course set-up and on occasion offered advice and support when needed,” said Forsythe. “I’d also like to encourage the public to get behind our sponsors and support them, as well as the event.

"With our budget rising to over £150,000 and insurance increases over the past few years, everyone who gives a donation or buys a programme are also making an important contribution to our event, alongside the 500 volunteers who make the event possible.

"This news is a welcome boost towards securing the necessary financial resources to enable the Around-A-Pound Tandragee 100 to be a success once again in 2025.”

Over the past two years, only the Cookstown 100 and Armoy road races have taken place in Northern Ireland along with the North West 200.
