Credited as the UK’s first closed road sportive, the Marie Curie Etape Caledonia has established itself as a bucket list event within the cycling community. Now in its 12th year, the next edition of the sportive will be held on 20 May 2018.

With the idyllic town of Pitlochry welcoming cyclists from across the UK and beyond, the Marie Curie Etape Caledonia is set in the heart of the stunning Highland Perthshire. The 81-mile route takes in the beauty of Lochs Tummel and Ranoch before approaching the famous climb of Schiehallion, with panoramic views across the valley.

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.
