Push the Pedal for the ISA, is a fundraising initiative of the Irish Support Agency.

The construction industry has shown immense support to the ISA over the years, and we wanted to create a mutually beneficial program with a positive impact.

How it Works

  • Participants must then download the MyVirtualMission app where they will then have access to the platform where they will be able to see the route and checkpoints for the race as well as track their kms cycled.

  • Participants will be able to see the leaderboard of teams throughout the week.

  • Once a team member completes a cycle, they upload what they have completed straight to the app and attach a photo of their recorded distance.

  • Cycling can be done on a static exercise bike that we can deliver to your site. The bike can be installed in your site office, lunch room or wherever you think the team will best be able to access it. Alternatively, team members can use their own bike or a bike at the gym, and they can connect their fitness app to the MyVirtualMission app which will automatically record the distance with no need to upload.
