The 10th edition of the Marie Curie Etape Caledonia will take place on Sunday 8 May 2016.
Often cited as the UK's first closed road sportive, the Marie Curie Etape Caledonia has established itself as one of the UK's most popular and long-running sportive challenges and will celebrate its 10th year in 2016.
Staged in the breathtaking landscape of Highland Perthshire, the Etape Caledonia starts and finishes in the idyllic town of Pitlochry.
With fundraising an integral part of the event, many cyclists opt to take part in the 81-mile epic on behalf of Marie Curie. Joining the iconic Team Marie Curie, more than 1,000 fundraisers accumulated £300,000 through Charity Pledge Places for Marie Curie in 2015 alone.
James Robinson, Managing Director of IMG Mass Participation Sports commented: "This event continues to go from strength to strength, enjoying sell-out success and great support from the local community every year. From seasoned club cyclists, to first timers and fundraisers it's a sportive that appeals to all. We're really looking forward to returning to Pitlochry for our 10th edition."
