Billy Kerr Sportive Saturday 15 August – Only 3 Weeks to Go
Eamonn Loughran is the latest high profile entrant to this year’s Billy Kerr Sportive.
The 45 year old, former WBO World welterweight title holder still keeps himself in great shape and intends to take part in the 41 miles event and add his support to the cancer fund for children charity.

Eamonn and his cycling pal Wilbert Millar plan to complete the ride together. Eamonn, like Billy Kerr, is an inductee in the Ballymena sporting hall of fame.

In 2013 Eamonn took part in the ill-fated Boston marathon and counted himself "blessed” not to have been caught up in the bomb blast at the event.
