We are delighted to bring this unique event to Whitchurch Village a leafy suburb of Cardiff. Nestled in the village is Whitchurch High School which has produced a host of Welsh Sporting hero's including "2018 Tour De France" Winner Geraint Thomas, so it seems quite apt for a cyc
ling event to be staged here ! . The first CARDIFF 26.2 - Cyclothon will take place as a Virtual Event with the intention for it to arrive as a real time cycling event in 2022. This years Participants will be able to Ride the 26.2 mile marathon distance route of their choice, anytime, any place, anywhere they feel safe to do so, between Saturday 26th June & Sunday 18th July to coincide with the 2021 Tour De France . Its a Fun Ride to be enjoyed on cycle routes and open public roads, not a race or sportive, just a ride !!. We would love you to send us videos and pictures of your very own Cyclothon to [email protected] for us to share through all our social media outlets. It could make you famous !!
