Lagan’s Cycle Challenge
Lagan’s Cycle Challenge, developed in 2016 in memory of Lagan, brings in cyclists across the North West to complete one of our three routes, all of which represent the major uphill battle a child with heart defects has to fight. Please note, this event is hosted by Lagan’s Foundation, participants can fundraise for a charity of their choice or not fundraise at all. The more the merrier!
This event tackles the challenging inclines along the way and enjoys the fabulous views to North Wales, Cheshire and Blackpool. Now with Chip Timing!
Not for the faint-hearted – don’t be fooled by the distances, take a look at the inclines! If you are training for a bigger event this will be a fantastic challenge to start the spring with.
We will once again be offering 3 routes to choose from allowing all abilities to come along and take part.
Every cyclist who completes their selected route will receive a medal and certificate with special trophies going to the first cyclist back on each route.
Light refreshments will be available at the end of the ride.
