Some rare vintage steam engines will pass through a number of county Tipperary communities on Tuesday, May 27 as part of The Irish Steam Engine Owners Association Road Run that will be raising funds for Irish Wheelchair Association services in Tipperary and nationwide.
The week-long road run from Kildare to Cork will take place from Saturday, May 24 to Friday, May 30, visiting Laois, Kilkenny and Tipperary.
The run will visit county Tipperary on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 27 and 28.
The convoy of steam engines will depart Urlingford at 10am on Tuesday, May 27 and stop in Littleton, Horse & Jockey during the day with a scheduled arrival time in Cashel at 6pm.
The next day, the steam engines will depart Cashel at 10am and stop in New Inn during the day en route to the arrival point in Mitchelstown in county Cork at 5.30pm.
Organisers say the stream engines are hoping to bring fun and excitement to their stops over the week.
This is a great opportunity to see up to 20 rare vintage vehicles, many over 100 years old including a Marshall traction engine built in 1908, a Clayton & Shuttleworth Road Locomotive built in 1915, and a Fowler Ten Ton Roller built in 1929. 
Volunteers will be out collecting funds for essential Irish Wheelchair Association’s services that support local people with disabilities across Tipperary.
The Irish Steam Engine Owners Association has been waiting a number of years to hold this event again and is looking forward to a fantastic week for its members and the Irish Wheelchair Association.
