York-Leeds-York Sportive 2027

Velo29’s season opener, over 800 riders enjoying these great FLAT routes.

York – Leeds – York, the biggest cycle ride in Yorkshire!

2027 is set to be the biggest YLY in years. The event is always super popular with riders keen to get back to sportive riding, see old friends and have an awesome day out as we say goodbye to the winter.

The routes are FLAT with the exception of the middle part of the Long ride, which has a few very tasty climbs.

Departing from Murton to the east of the York, you will head toward the historic city, crossing the River Ouse at the Millennium Bridge; then cycling past The Knavesmire, York’s famous racecourse before heading onto some stunning little country roads in the direction of Leeds.

There are three route choices, the short at 41 miles, the medium at 72 miles and the long at 111 miles.

There is a route choice to suit all abilities in this spring event, whether it’s your first sportive or you love a 100-mile challenge we have a route to suit you.

Over the past 12 years York – Leeds – York has become one of the biggest sportives in the north of England: join us for 2027 and find out what all the fuss is about!
