Cyclothon and family fun day

Our Cyclothon was back after three years away and it was bigger and better than ever!
 
2023 marked the 26^th anniversary of our longest running fundraising event and this year we partnered with one of the UK’s leading cycling event specialists, Velo29 Events to create a better experience for all those taking part. There were four distances cyclists could choose from to suit all abilities!
 
All courses set off from Pontefract RUFC where we also hosted a family fun day with a range of stalls including; Let's Get Lathered, Zak's Snacks, Newbold's Bakery and MayRose Handmade, rides and entertainment from F&D Leisure, Meeson's Music and Rainbow Face Parties and food from The Caring Kitchen.
 
Adrian Greenwood, Fundraising Manager said: “Following feedback from Cyclothon in 2019, we made a number of improvements such as enhancement to the routes, adding an extra route and new start/finish location at Pontefract Rugby Union Club. We planned our Family Fun Day alongside the Cyclothon so even if people were not taking part, they could still come along for an afternoon of fun, all in the aid of local hospice care. A big thank you to Velo29 Cycling Event and Pontefract Rugby Union Club for supporting the event.”

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Cyclothon, and came to our family fun day, we hope you enjoyed it. We'd also like to thank everyone who volunteered on the day!
