The R428 road, also called the Athy Road, is a regional road in Ireland, located in County Kildare and County Laois. [1] [2]

The road formerly used to end at Duke Street on the former N78 (now L4015) in Athy, however, due to the opening of the new Athy Distributor Road, it turns right from Woodstock Street onto William Street, crosses the Grand Canal, and continues for about a kilometre and a half until the roundabout adjacent to Blackparks. Motorists can then continue straight onto the N78 towards Castlecomer.

The 1903 Gordon Bennett Cup, formally titled the IV Coupe Internationale, was a motor race held on 2 July 1903, on the Athy Circuit consisting of closed roads in Ireland. The race consisted of seven laps - alternating for six laps over a shorter circuit to the west of Athy and longer circuit to the East, before a final lap on the longer circuit to make the total distance 527 km. A British entry had won the previous edition of the race, which meant that the rights to host the race fell to the Automobile Club of Britain and Ireland. Legislation was passed to allow the race to take place on roads in Ireland, then a part of the United Kingdom. Britain were to attempt to defend the Gordon Bennett Cup against France, Germany and the USA, and each country was represented by three entries, with the car that finished the race in the shortest time winning the race on behalf of his country.
