The Lionheart Sportive Returns – Sunday 11th October

After a decade away, we are thrilled to announce the return of The Lionheart Sportive on Sunday 11th October.

Starting and finishing within the breathtaking grounds of the majestic Longleat Estate, this iconic cycling event is back and ready to challenge riders once again with two epic route options: 100 miles or 100 kilometres.

Designed to test your endurance while showcasing some of the finest cycling roads in the South West, The Lionheart Sportive takes riders through the stunning countryside of Wiltshire and Somerset. Expect rolling landscapes, quiet country lanes, spectacular views, and one legendary challenge – the formidable climb of King Alfred's Tower, a true highlight that will reward every rider who conquers it.

Whether you're taking on the full century ride or the 100km route, The Lionheart promises an unforgettable day in the saddle, combining challenging terrain with exceptional scenery and a welcoming event atmosphere.

This year's event also carries a very special purpose. We are privileged to count former England rugby captain Lewis Moody among our supporters and customers. Following Lewis's devastating diagnosis we are going to be raising funds for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, a charity dedicated to funding research into MND and supporting those affected by the disease.

Every mile ridden will help support the Foundation's mission to find effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

Join us on Sunday 11th October as we celebrate the return of a much-loved sportive, take on one of the region's most rewarding cycling challenges, and ride together for a cause that truly matters.
