Highland Perthshire Challenge

About the Event

Cycle through some of Scotland's most picturesque landscapes with the Highland Perthshire Sportif, an inspiring charity cycling challenge that supports communities in Africa. Participants can choose between two routes: the demanding 100-mile route and the more manageable 50-mile option for those looking to complete it within eight hours.
Both routes are timed and come with a £40 donation towards the cause instead of an entry fee, offering potential tax benefits if you qualify under gift aid. Cyclists can also opt to raise additional funds through sponsorship but this is entirely optional.
The event showcases iconic Scottish towns such as Blairgowrie, Dunkeld, and Pitlochry while passing by historic landmarks like the Meikleour Beech Hedge and Birk's of Aberfeldy. The scenic ride includes numerous bridges that punctuate the rolling hills and valleys along the way.
Feed stations are strategically placed to keep you fueled with generous portions of sandwiches, home baking, bananas, and energy bars. These stops offer a momentary respite while enjoying local flavors and cheering from supporters.
For those interested in further challenges or variety, consider entering one of our sister events: Ayrshire Alps Sportif, Heymooth sportif, and the Tayside Challenge. Each offers different route lengths on quiet roads with varied terrain to suit all levels of cyclists.
Registering for multiple events provides discounts; book two at a time to save £10, three for £15 off or all four for £25 discount from your total donation amount.
Join us and be part of an event that not only challenges you physically but also makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
