North West 200, 16 May 2009

The North West 200 was first held on 20 April 1929 and today it is renowned as the largest outdoor sporting event held in Ireland. It was christened the North West 200 because the original race was intended to be 200 miles long and to take place through the streets of North West Ireland. The present day race is held on the North Coast of Northern Ireland and covers the triangle circuit between Portrush-Coleraine-Portstewart.

The race this year takes place on Saturday 16 May and the race festival, a week long event held prior to the event, starts on Saturday 9 May.

Experience the North West 200 in Portrush which is just 1 hour by car from Belfast. Compare airfares and find cheap flights to Belfast with eDreams.
