The 4th edition of the Leicester Castle Classic Sportive takes place on Saturday 13th August 2016 and is followed on Sunday 14th by the Leicester Castle Classic, part of British Cycling's Motorpoint Grand Prix series.  The event became part of the British Cycling Sportive Calendar in 2013.

When you enter our sportives you're offered 3 options, 50km, 100km and 160km, so there's something there for cyclists of all abilities. All three courses feature the undulating Leicestershire countryside and will include the famous Bosworth Battle field where Richard III fought and lost his crown. 

On the morning of the sportive, riders will be treated to tea and coffee before setting off whilst out on the route there's a feed station, in Market Bosworth. The welcome sight and smell of tea and homemade cake will be part of your reward upon finishing. Whilst a limited edition Leicester Castle Classic Buff and a voucher for a Pint from Everards Brewery which can be redeemed during the Leicester Castle Classic the following day should help to prolong the happy memories of the event!
