Story
We are delighted to be teaming up with KM Events to bring you 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 heroes including the 2018 Tour De France winner Geraint Thomas, so it seems quite apt for a cycling 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.
We are delighted to be the partner charity for the event this year and would love for you to take part and support the Noah's Ark Charity.
Here at the Noah's Ark Charity we believe passionately that all children in Wales should get the best possible hospital care. Our mission is to create brighter todays and better tomorrows, ensuring the best outcome and experience possible for the children of Wales.
Every year 73,000 children, from across Wales, receive specialist and life-saving treatment at the Noah's Ark Children's Hospital in Cardiff and in communities across the nation.
Having raised more than £23 million to build and equip the hospital, today the charity work hand in hand with the NHS, providing funding for the most up to date equipment, facilities and support services for families like the play specialist team, who help children be children, despite the difficulties they are facing.
We would love to see the cycling community helping us towards our fundraising goal of £10,000!
All riders will receive a unique limited edition technical t-shirt which features the names of all those who enter and a finishers medal to wear with pride as a participant in the first ever CARDIFF 26.2 - Cyclothon - We Ride The Streets.
