For years, the Cotswolds Classic has been a beloved cycling event, captivating riders with its scenic beauty and challenging terrain. This classic event offers three routes that wind through the picturesque Cotswolds AONB, renowned for its rolling hills, thatched villages, and stunning limestone architecture.
Expect a mix of exhilarating climbs and exhilarating descents that will test your endurance and reward your efforts. As you cross the finish line, you'll be greeted with a well-deserved finisher medal and other goodies from our partners.
To ensure a smooth ride, our routes are meticulously marked, allowing you to focus on the journey. We've also strategically placed feed stops along the way to keep you fueled and energized. In addition, our mechanical and medical support teams are on hand to assist you if needed. With everything we've put in place, all you need to do is arrive with your bike, helmet, and essentials. The rest is up to us.
The Cotswolds Classic is part of our Classic Series, designed to cater to cyclists of all abilities. With three routes and a focus on enjoyment rather than technical difficulty, these events are perfect for beginners, experienced riders, and anyone who simply loves cycling.
