Carrick Wheelers Rás Hall of Fame!

  For the majority of the history of the Rás our club has entered a team in the famous race.  As most people know that because of the uniqueness of the Rás the competitors compete in the race in county, national and professional teams.  For this reason our club team has been known as the Tipperary Team whilst competing in this great race and has been sponsored by a number of different successful sponsors over the years with Dan Morrissey Ireland Ltd being our current backer.   Here are some highlights of the club’s successes in the fifty-six year history of the Rás:
