Cat & Fiddle

Location: West Midlands
Date: Sunday 3 October 2010 (tbc)

We are awaiting confirmation of the 2010 date but it is expected to be Sunday 3 October. Please hit Need more info? and we'll contact you with entry details shortly.

Cycling legend Sean Kelly will again take part in our annual Cat & Fiddle 55-mile Cycle Challenge which last year saw 1,299 participants joining him.

Starting from Brian Rourke's Cycle shop in Stoke-on-Trent, the route goes through Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire and the beautiful Peak District National Park - including the infamous Cat and Fiddle climb (7 miles long).

Some riders do the course in under 2hrs, some take all day but all receive a big welcome from Brian Rourke's and the CF Trust at the finish line followed by sandwich, cake and a cuppa! This is not a race, it's a fun run!

Since this challenge was started in 2002 it has raised a staggering £325,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Our very special thanks to Brian Rourke and his colleagues for staging this brilliant event, to Sean Kelly for his ongoing support and many other invaluable volunteers. We are also very grateful to every cyclist who has taken part in the event and, in doing so, is taking us a step closer to finding a cure for CF.
