Entries open for Broughton Castle Sportive 2026

The sportive has become a well-established date in the cycling calendar and is known for offering some of the tougher routes in the UK, attracting experienced riders looking for a demanding and rewarding challenge through the Cotswolds. The longer routes feature challenging terrain and significant climbing, all delivered as part of a fully supported, well-organised event.

Alongside the tougher rides, Broughton Castle Sportive also prides itself on being inclusive and welcoming, with options designed to suit a wide range of abilities. The event includes a Family Fun Ride, making it accessible for families and newer riders who want to be part of the day without taking on the longer distances.

Organisers place a strong emphasis on creating a well-run event with a friendly atmosphere, supported by an experienced volunteer team and clear organisation from start to finish.

All proceeds from the sportive are distributed to local charities. Since 2010, the event has raised £106,000 for local causes, making it a significant fundraiser for the community as well as a highlight for riders.

Entries for Broughton Castle Sportive 2026 are now open, with full details of routes and registration available online.
