About the Event

The Viking Challenge, now in its 32nd year, invites cyclists of all ages and skill levels to explore the stunning Vale of Belvoir. This unique cycling experience offers access to routes that are typically off-limits to the public, making it an adventure like no other.
Participants can expect well-stocked refuelling stops along the way, where they'll be greeted with a variety of delicious cakes – almost as renowned as the challenge itself. The event caters to both serious and casual cyclists alike, fostering a welcoming atmosphere that keeps riders and volunteers coming back year after year for more.
The Viking Challenge is open to individuals and teams, ensuring there's something for everyone who wishes to partake in this remarkable journey through picturesque countryside. Riders will enjoy warm hospitality from the local community while tackling the physical demands of the course. Just remember: no dogs or vaping are allowed on school premises during the event.
This cycling adventure is more than just a race; it’s an experience that celebrates both the spirit and the scenery of the Vale of Belvoir.
