WK Nowlan Real Estate Advisers is to run a "Battle of the Bikes" contest in Dublin on June 2nd featuring teams from some of Ireland's best known property and professional services companies competing to raise funds for Crumlin Children's Hospital.

The highlight of the event is a “rollapaluza” cycling concept that will allow teams to compete on a fixed rig whilst spectators and other competitors cheer them on as they compete to see who can be the fastest over a 500-metre sprint.

This is the first corporate event of its kind in Ireland, with 20 teams due to battle it out at CHQ in Dublin's IFSC between 6.30 and 8.30pm.
