Startline Leicestershire Sportive 2026

Startline Leicestershire is ITP’s entry level event, designed for those who want to try a sportive, are interested in less hilly routes or want something of a training ride, with all the basics covered with a competitive entry fee!

We have completely redesigned the routes, hopefully giving you some new quiet lanes to discover. There are still three routes to choose from – 70, 55 and 38 miles.

All routes enjoy some of the quietest roads in the East Midlands, passing through sleepy villages, past Belvoir Castle and the birthpace of Isaac Newton.

This event includes an indoor refreshment stop on ALL routes where hot drinks plus a range of food will be provided to make sure you are well fuelled to finish your ride.

If you encounter any problems our mechanics and medical staff are ready to help. The event HQ at Hose village hall has plenty of parking. And as usual, this is all included in the entry.

• Free High5 energy products at registration
• Fully signposted routes & GPS

• Hot food available at finish

• Finisher’s medal
