2025 Armoy Road Races Summary :
Armoy, Co. Antrim – July 25th & 26th 2025 – The 2025 Armoy Road Races, the final round of this year’s Ulster Road Race Championships, lived up to expectations as a spectacular showcase of pure road racing talent. Despite changeable conditions, with one large rain shower and an oil spill putting a temporary delay on a race day that was otherwise running like clockwork, the event culminated in a masterful display by Cork’s Michael Browne, who clinched the coveted ‘Race of Legends’ title and a sensational quadruple of victories.
The picturesque County Antrim village once again proved to be a formidable arena for some of the sport’s finest, drawing a massive crowd and a competitive field of 147 riders, including over 20 newcomers and international competitors. The weather, a typical Northern Irish mix, added an extra layer of complexity, demanding exceptional skill and quick decision-making from the riders and their teams.

Armoy (from the Irish: Oirthear Maí meaning “the east plain”) is a small village in County Antrim Northern Ireland. It is 6 miles from Ballycastle and 9 miles from Ballymoney and nestles under the shadow of Knocklayd mountain. It is on the River Bush and lies within the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council area. The village is situated between two of the nine Glens of Antrim, Glenshesk and Glentaisie. Glenshesk is part of the Armoy Race Circuit.
The full story of the Armoy Armada can be found on the Official AMRRC Website :
“Road racing and the Armoy Armada was a regular topic of conversation in the Armoy pub and it was on one such night in what started off as a bit of craic and a £20 bet, that Kathleen Hartin was sparked into the idea of a tribute race to the Legends of Road Racing.
…All the affiliations, constitutions, rules, agencies, roads departments and councils eventually succumbed to the objectives of the club and when finance was secured through local sponsorship and funding, the first ever Armoy Road Race – Race of Legends was run in July 2009.”
