About the Event

Info for Riders

The Centurion Sportive will take you along a 78km course of the stunning Gower Peninsular. The course contains over 1000m of combined elevation. Departing from Underhill Park in Mumbles athletes will head along Mumbles Road before turning west and heading out onto Gower. Helmets are mandatory for all participants and TT/Triathlon bikes or aero bars are not permitted.

This course will offer challenges to experienced and not so experienced riders. Both will feel a sense of achievement cresting the last hill and descending for the finish line where a medal and refreshment will be well earned! There will be a feed/Hydration station on the course near the half way or 35km point. The Centurion Sportive is an open road event so riding to the flow of the road and being mindful of traffic and the Highway Code is vital, training with this in mind will also benefit athletes.
