The Simpson Sportive 2026

After a successful debut event last year, Simpson Sportive is back for 2026.

This year there are three route options: 63km, 100km and 161km (100 miles). Each one explores the quiet, scenic roads of North Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire – many of which were part of Tom’s training ground growing up.

All routes start and finish at Harworth & Bircotes Town Hall (DN11 8JN) and are mostly flat, with just a few punchy climbs to keep things interesting.

Your entry also supports the Tom Simpson Memorial Fund.

This ride is open to anyone on any bike.

What’s included:

• Exclusive Tom Simpson Cycling Festival Musette – filled with a race brochure full of historical stories, and goodies from our sponsors
• Feed Zones (one for 63km and 100km, and two for 161km) with complimentary food and drink
• Event photography – images without watermark available for purchase after the event
• Fully signed route, finishers medal and free parking
• Broom wagon and mobile mechanic
• Supports the Tom Simpson Memorial Fund
