Pedal for palliative care at our popular Cycle Sportive on Sunday 1 September 2024.

This event is kindly sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, and supported by Trek Bikes UK, The Good Gym MK and Broughton Cycling Group.

Starting and finishing at the Good Gym MK in Kiln Farm, you can choose from three routes – the 45 miler, 65 miler or 100 miler*. Each route will take you out of Milton Keynes and into the surrounding countryside, tackling ascents and descents, all for a great cause.

This is a fundraising event where we ask participants to raise a minimum of £100 to support Willen Hospice and the care we provide.

Below are the routes and information from our 2023 event, these may be subject to change for 2024.

  • Friendly volunteers and marshals at pitstops along the routes.
  • First aiders and support vehicles to pick up participating cyclists who have any mechanical issues along the route.
