Organiser's Description
The Wiltshire Classic cycling event is a longtime favourite with our riders, famous for its scenic route that crisscrosses the rolling landscape of the Cranborne Chase AONB. This area is steeped in history, and the route itself passes through picturesque Saxon villages, such as Rockbourne, which is home to an ancient Roman villa dating back to the Iron Age and the 5th century.
Starting at Salisbury Racecourse in Wiltshire, all three routes guide you across county lines - into Dorset, then Hampshire, before looping back to Wiltshire. As you ride across the boundary between South-West and South-East England, you'll find yourself on free-flowing, rolling roads that are challenging enough to be fun, but won't overly punish your legs. This makes it the perfect chance to relax and truly enjoy your time on two wheels.
This ride is an opportunity to get outdoors, rack up some quiet kilometres, and fully appreciate the charming countryside back roads that connect these sleepy rural villages. It’s about time well spent on your bike.
Naturally, your efforts will be rewarded! As you cross the finish line, you'll receive a well-deserved finisher medal and other goodies from our partners.
Our Classic Series is designed for all riders. With three non-technical routes to choose from, we warmly invite as many cyclists as possible to join us for this quintessential Classic cycling event.

Fantastic race through beautiful Wiltshire countryside. I took part in the short 30 mile distance with my 11 year old son. It was his first sportive and everyone on the course and the organisers were really friendly and supportive. It was a great experience for him and left him wanting to do another race! Would highly recommend this race to anyone and we’re looking forward to doing it again next year!
