Festival of Cycling

About the Event

Celebrating its eleventh consecutive year, the Festival of Cycling returns to enchant cyclists across various skill levels with its blend of challenging routes and scenic countryside. Cyclists can opt for one of four distinct paths: the 100k road course or a gentler 50k option through South Leicestershire’s historic landscapes and charming villages; alternatively, off-road enthusiasts have two exciting trails to choose from—a rigorous 70k journey alongside an easier-paced 40k route. Both on- and off-road courses traverse diverse terrain featuring rolling hills that cater equally well to seasoned racers seeking a competitive edge as they do for casual cyclists out for a delightful day exploring natural beauty.
Join the throngs of cycling aficionados who pedal through idyllic countryside filled with historic sites, ancient landmarks, verdant meadows, and rustic hamlets. With numerous spectating opportunities along the way, riders receive ample support while immersing themselves in this beloved event’s festive atmosphere as it continues to grow each year.
Registration is currently available for all categories of cyclists eager to experience another thrilling edition of one of Britain's most eagerly anticipated cycling festivals in South Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. Secure your spot early amidst fellow enthusiasts ready to pedal through unforgettable miles brimming with local charm, breathtaking vistas, and lively camaraderie.
