    This year is the second year of our 70km cycling challenge! We are also excited to run the third year of our Duathlon event with the inclusion of a team option. One of you can take on the running while the other team member cycles.

    Furthermore it will be our third Schools Team Cycling Race after introducing this in 2024 - who will take the trophy this year?

    We look forward to your entries for another exhilarating event.
