The Parishes Sportive

-

Participants can choose from two routes tailored to suit different levels of cycling fitness - the full 80-mile route or the 37-mile Medio course starting and finishing at Cycle 360 in Douglas.

Strava route details here:

PARISHES FULL ROUTE - STRAVA GPX

PARISHES MEDIO ROUTE - STRAVA GPX

Participants may start anytime between 09:00 & 09:30, although slower riders for the longer distance are asked to go off as close to 09:00 as possible.

All participants under the age of 18 must submit a consent form completed by their parent/guardian on the day of the event. Parental Consent forms are available for download from the British Cycling website. In terms of participation, the shorter course is suitable for all ages, whereas the full 85-mile course is not recommended for under-16’s. 

PLEASE NOTE: Riders under the age of 16 must also be accompanied by a parent or guardian on the ride.

This is a mass participation event with all proceeds going towards the costs of sending an IOM cycling team of Road and MTB riders, plus support staff to the 2025 Orkney Island Games.

The event is designed to cater for all abilities and types of cyclist, including our growing number of e-bikers.

Online Entry is just £22, (£12 for Under 16’s), and due to the generous value-in-kind sponsorship from Robinson’s and Cycle 360 towards our costs, much of your entry fee will go directly to fund the team.

Entry includes: Electronic timing, energy gel, cycling bottle, route signage, gpx files, photos on Facebook and 2 feed stations on the route

Entries are capped at 200 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.

So, please join us for an exhilarating day of cycling and community spirit – whether you’re an avid cyclist or a beginner, this event promises to be a great day out, all while supporting a really good cause.
