One of the Island’s premier cycling events, the Zurich Isle of Man Lighthouses Challenge, is a full circle route covering over 160km, and 6,800ft of climbing.

Taking place the weekend of 1 – 2 July 2023

Sail over to the Isle of Man with us in July and enjoy one of the Island’s premier cycling events, the Zurich Isle of Man Lighthouses Challenge, a full circle route covering over 160km, and 6,800ft of climbing.  Taking in some of the Island’s most majestic coastal scenery, including ancient ruins, rugged terrain and challenging inclines, the route is a great day out, and all in aid of local mental health charity, Isle Listen.

The event has several shorter routes, including a quarter circle route (17 miles) which is perfect for leisure cyclists, families, and novices and includes a medal and delicious food.
