Super car rally for BUMBLEance children's ambulance to visit Mayo

BUMBLEance children’s ambulance service has been selected as the charity partner for the much-anticipated super car rally The Bear Run 74.

Now in its fourth year, The Bear Run 74 showcases some of the world’s most iconic and luxurious cars - all in support of a great cause.

The 2025 route will start at Railway Karting in Cookstown on Friday, May 2, and then cruise through Ballybofey, Ballina, Maam Cross and Galway on Saturday, May 3, before heading to Tullamore, Banbridge, and finishing at the Titanic Hotel Belfast on May 4.

BUMBLEance is Ireland’s only dedicated children’s ambulance service and makes a difference by empowering the thousands of families unable to access their child’s healthcare through providing nationwide medical journeys in a safe, caring and fun environment, offered completely free of charge.

The Bear Run 74 founder Keith Gamble said: “The Bear Run 74 was set up in memory of my late father who passed away at the age of 74 to cancer. We have raised €153,636 for charity to date.”

In 2024, BUMBLEance travelled over 600,000km across 2,389 trips, which was a 21% increase from the previous year. However, rising demand meant that unfortunately 348 trips could not be fulfilled due to limited resources.

Fundraisers like The Bear Run 74 are essential to ensuring no child is left without access to the medical care they need.

The Bear Run 74 will launch at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 2, with the convoy passing through six fundraising locations where the public can donate, meet the BUMBLEance team, and (at select locations) get up close to the incredible cars.

Expect to see jaw-dropping vehicles like the Audi R8 V10 Plus, Ferrari 488, Lamborghini Aventador, McLaren 720S, and many more - making ‘The Bear Run 74’ an unmissable weekend for car enthusiasts and BUMBLEance supporters alike.
