THE COTSWOLDS 100 SPORTIVE –
NOW IN ITS 8th YEAR!
ABOUT
Description
Set in the heart of the stunning Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), this scenic sportive takes riders through some of the most breathtaking countryside the UK has to offer.
Designed to be an enjoyable and rewarding day on the bike rather than an extreme challenge, the event is all about celebrating cycling, great scenery, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're riding solo or with friends, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy the roads, the views, and the experience of riding in one of the country’s most beautiful regions.
Choose from two route options:
🚴♂️ Long Route – 166 km (101 miles) 🚴
🚴 Medium Route – 104 km (64 miles) 🚴
Whichever route you choose, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable ride — and a great opportunity to tick off that coveted “100”, whether you count in miles or kilometres.
For 2027, we will be updating the routes to make them more accessible to a wider range of riders. Where possible, elevation will be reduced compared to previous years, helping encourage even more cyclists to experience this beautiful area and enjoy a fantastic day out on the bike.
With a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, this sportive welcomes riders of all abilities and is all about enjoying great riding in great company.
THIS EVENT IS FULLY SUPPORTED WITH MARKED ROUTES, INCLUDING MECHANICAL AND MEDICAL SUPPORT.
