Etape Caledonia 2026

The Cancer Research UK Etape Caledonia returns to the idyllic village of Pitlochry, Highland Perthshire, on Sunday 10 May 2026.

Since 2007, Etape Caledonia has welcomed thousands of cyclists to the UK’s original closed-road sportive. This breathtaking event takes riders on a tour through the stunning landscapes of Highland Perthshire.

Choose from 40, 55 or 85 miles of unforgettable riding on fully closed roads. You’ll wind through tree-lined avenues, past shimmering lochs and cheering spectators, with the sound of bagpipes echoing through the hills. Take on the mighty Schiehallion if you’re up for a challenge, and refuel at our well-stocked feed stations along the way.

Whether you’re new to sportives or chasing a PB, we’ve got something for you.
