Be part of our Gran Fondo cycling event this summer and challenge yourself to cycle 250 or 500km whilst raising money to help support people with cancer.

What is a Gran Fondo you ask?

It loosely translates as ‘Big Race’ and is all about community, inclusion and celebrating competitive cycling for everyone, not just the pros!

Select your distance, set your start date and cycle when and where you want before the 15th of September as part of the UCI Cycling World Championships for which we’re a national charity partner.

Whether you go the distance on a road bike, mountain bike, gravel bike, BMX, turbo trainer or static bike, this big ride is open to cyclists of all levels.

 

Sign up now to receive your free cycling jersey and raise funds for Maggie’s to help people take back control when cancer turns life upside down.

We’d love for you to join our community through the dedicated Maggie’s Gran Fondo Facebook group. Track your rides on Strava and join our Strava club to be part of the chat.

And if that wasn’t enough, you can compete for trophies through your rides. Whether you’re the fastest or slowest, oldest or youngest, have the best finish line photo or outlandish cycling outfit, you’ll be in with a chance to win. See which appeals to you and select which you’d like to compete for during registration.
