Specialist palliative and bereavement support provider, Compton Care, has opened registrations for its popular Round the Wrekin cycle fundraiser, taking place on Sunday 19 May.
Last year’s event saw over 400 supporters cycle through the Shropshire countryside to raise more than £32,000 to help fund the charity’s work supporting people with life limiting conditions and their families in the local community.
Now in its seventh year, 2024’s event looks set to be the biggest and best yet with revamped routes and more on offer for participants.
Starting from Dudley Kingswinford Rugby Club in Kingswinford, the three new routes have been designed to offer something for all abilities. The ‘Hugh Porter Challenge’ is a 21-mile route touring quiet lanes through Badger and Beckbury and is suitable for cyclists aged 11+.
The ‘Compton Care Classic’ is a 60-mile route offering big descents and beautiful scenery for those aged 16+. Finally, ‘The Epic’ is the ultimate 100-mile challenge and takes seasoned cyclists deep into the Shropshire countryside featuring a brand-new climb over the Long Mynd and of course, the Wrekin.
The charity is offering a £5 discount to anyone registering for the event before Friday 16 February.
