Booking opens from 10am Tuesday until 18:00 Thursday. This is ESSENTIAL to ride.

What to Expect in a Velo29 Sportive
Great New Routes For 2024!
Having delivered the event once, we’ve worked to make all 3 routes even better! We’ve totally changed the Medium and Long run-in from Sherburn and removed all the urban toil. For Short/ Medium/ Long we’ve managed to spread the feed stops out a little more and we’ve tweaked the first 20 miles to find some more hidden little roads which are more quiet and less urban.
We think these routes are great and allow us to continue to use the brilliant Pontefract RUFC as an HQ.
The Prince of Wales Hospice provides palliative care and support for patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families.
Without public support, hospice care wouldn’t be possible.
The Prince of Wales Hospice Cyclothon is one of the longest standing fund raising events. Always a successful event with upwards of 600 riders taking part over the years.
20% of your entry fee (excluding booking fee) will go to The Prince of Wales Hospice. You are of course welcome to fundraise and donate further to the charity if you wish – we’d love to hear your stories on that.
