Pour de Forces

The 353 Cycling Challenge held at Mallory Park is set to be a day of fun and challenges for riders of all ages and abilities – and a great way to raise money for an important cause.

Set in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside, Mallory Park is affectionately known as the ‘Friendly Circuit’ for its more than helpful staff and a cafe that has acquired almost legendary status in the world of trackside catering. With beautiful lakes and the sloping green as well, this is the perfect place to get cycling – and get busy raising money for charity.

Competitions

There really is something for every level of cyclist with a variety of competitions throughout our seven hours of track time, including:

• Furthest distance covered by a non-stop team (4 man / over 4 man)
• Furthest distance covered by a relay team
• Furthest individual distance
• Fastest individual to cover 3.53 miles (2.5 laps)

Basically, our big aim is to complete as many laps as possible of the track during the 7 hours of track time we have. You can complete this as an individual, a non-stop team or as a relay team. And we’ll be dishing out prizes graded for those 3 categories.
