Join us on Saturday 24 August in the majestic setting of Drumlanrig, Scotland, for a cycle ride like no other – and raise vital funds to help fight poverty along the way.
The Drumlanrig Cycle Challenge has been getting people on their bikes and enjoying some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery since 2006. The routes have changed a bit over the years but the aim remains the same – to enjoy a fantastic day of cycling on largely traffic-free roads, whilst helping people living in poverty around the world to transform their lives.
Please note that due to lower registrations for this years' event, the course has changed slightly, in that we will now be starting and finishing at Dumfries Baptist Church, with the longer, 75 mile course taking you through some of Scotland's most breathtaking scenery onto the Castle grounds for a well deserved cake and refreshments, before heading back to the church. There is also a slightly shorter, 51 mile route available as well.
All courses will begin at Dumfries Baptist Church, winding its way to the castle for some light refreshments before heading back to the church. We will meet at the church at 9am for a 9:30am start.
There is also a shorter 16 mile route available which takes in some fantastic scenery around Dumfries, more information to follow.
The registration fees for this year's cycle will go towards covering the costs of the cycle.
However, since the Drumlanrig Cycle Challenge is a fundraising event we ask every cyclist to consider either:
These two options will be available during the registration stage. If you decide to fundraise £110 for Tearfund, a JustGiving page will be automatically created for you.
All money raised through these two options will help bring hope to people living in extreme poverty.
Under 14s cannot take part in this challenge. If you are 14-17 year olds you require parental consent to take part in the Drumlanrig Cycle Challenge, AND a parent or legal guardian accompanying you on the ride. Please check with your parent or guardian before signing up - they will have to enter you to confirm you have their consent and that they are happy to accompany you on the ride.
If you wish to register your child (aged 14-17) for this challenge, please do register yourself first and, towards the end of your application, there will be an option to "Add New Entry" which will allow you to register your child.
