Cycle St Giles is back for Autumn 2026!
On Sunday 27th September, you’ll have the option of a 25, 50 or 100 mile course to take on across the Staffordshire countryside.
If you took part in Cycle Spring, this is your chance to complete the one big challenge, but even if you didn’t, we’d love you to join us for the challenge this autumn.
Whether you ride in memory, for fun, or to challenge yourself – every pedal makes a difference to help support local people, and their loved ones, living with a terminal illness.
For those joining us on the day, timings are below:
100 mile route | 7:30am – 8:00am
50 mile route | 8.00am – 8.30am
25 mile route | 8.30am – 9.00am

Gavin took part in Cycle St Giles, alongside his two boys, Oliver and Edward.
Gavin said: “My wife, Sarah – the boys’ mummy – passed away in March 2017 after receiving wonderful end of life care at St Giles Hospice. Their support allowed us to create precious final memories together.
“St Giles has been there for us ever since, which is why we’ve been fundraising, to help more families get the care they need when it matters most.”
