Sir Chris Hoy Tour de 4 Ride

Sir Chris Hoy has launched the Tour de 4, a new charity sportive set to take place in Scotland on Sunday 7 September 2025.

Beginning and finishing at the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome in Glasgow, this new fundraising charity ride aims to help change the perception of people living with stage 4 cancer, whilst also raising vital funds for cancer charities across the UK.

Since receiving his own diagnosis, Chris' dream has been to get as many people as possible living with Stage 4 cancer, as well as their friends and families, to participate to whatever extent they can manage, raising money for the cancer charities that mean the most to them.

"It's really important for me to shine a spotlight on what a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis can look like and demonstrate that it is possible to live well and lead a happy life alongside this devastating diagnosis," said Sir Chris.

"I'm so excited about the potential of this event and hope we can raise vital funds to help support the research and great work that is being done by so many charities in the UK. I have been blown away by the support I've received since sharing my own cancer diagnosis and I want to personally thank each and every person who has got in touch.

"We have also had hundreds and hundreds of people reach out to share their own stories and so many wanting to take part in Tour de 4 or donate or help in other ways."

Registration for Tour de 4 opened on 28 February. An inclusive event open to all, with 5,000 spaces available, there will be two distances to choose from - a 92km route and a shorter 60km option. Both will begin and finish at the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome in Glasgow.

There will also be a family friendly 1km route and static bikes within the velodrome for those that aren't able to take part in the road event.

Further detail on the event, routes and options can be found on the website and those wanting to sign up will be able to select their preference, along with the cancer charity they would like to raise funds for when they register.
