About Tullyallen Kart Club
TKC was formed in late 2010, and in the spring of 2011 hosted a major charity event in Whiteriver Park, Collon that raised over €45,000 for charity. From its inception TKC has aimed to make karting more affordable and accessible to its members, promoting safe racing in a relaxed and friendly environment. Its particular emphasis on a family friendly racing paddock has attracted members from all ages, ranging from as young as 5 to the more mature racer who still yearns for the adrenaline rush of close wheel to wheel action.
Over the years TKC has continued to evolve and is now one of Ireland’s largest karting clubs.
