The Microgaming Lighthouses Challenge

Sunday 9th July 2017 sees the Isle of Man enlivened by the seventh edition of the Island's premier sportive, the Isle of Man Lighthouses Challenge powered by Microgaming.

This is a classic training ride from bygone years taking in the Island’s lighthouses (where possible!) and most of the Island’s coastline.  Both the long & medium routes are not for the faint hearted. In good weather you will be able to see Ireland, Scotland, England & Wales.

394 participants entered in 2016 and the event continued to receive masses of very complimentary & encouraging feedback with some commenting that it was the "most enjoyable day ever" on their bike and that it was "fantastic value for money!"

The Isle of Man is a beautiful place to ride a bike, on or off road, and combined with fantastic ambassadors such as Mark Cavendish, Pete Kennaugh, Mark & Anna Christian and many more young riders aspiring to join the professional ranks the level of interest in Manx cycling has never been higher. The event is now an eagerly awaited permanent fixture on the isle of Mans sporting calendar.

The Lighthouses Challenge offers three course distances, 100, 57 & 28 miles.
