Our Tour de Moor is back for 2025

Returning to Dartmoor on Sunday 28 September

It’s bold, it’s brave, it’s big-hearted and it’s the best fun you can have on a bike while backing your local hospice. Yes, St Luke’s ever-popular Tour de Moor cycle event returns on Sunday 28 September with plenty of challenges to thrill and delight every rider, regardless of age or ability.

Are you ready to get on your bike and join us to embrace the mud, sweat and gears of this exhilarating cycling experience in the wilds of beautiful Dartmoor?

Feel a sense of belonging, purpose, and achievement as we ride as one to raise funds to support hospice care in our community. Our Tour de Moor is best known as an adrenaline packed two-wheel quest that can test the skills, fitness, and endurance of even the toughest of cyclists. But it’s so much more than that. With three distances and difficulty levels to choose from, it’s the ultimate inclusive family friendly cycling adventure. You can even join in if your bike is electric or you’re still using stabilisers, there is something for everyone.

· Beast mode: 53km of cycling at its fiercest (12 years old and above, entry fee £40) – an enhanced route based on your feedback.

· Adventurer style: 28km of tough riding (9 years old and above, entry fee £40) – an exciting route based on Dartmoor National Park’s Granite and Gears Cycle Trail.

· Mini-moor: 11km ride along Drake’s Trail (suitable for the whole family, entry fee £20)

Sponsored by Pyramid, our Tour de Moor challenge departs from Harrowbeer Airfield (near Yelverton) at 8.30am and finishes there, too.

Your fee covers our costs to run this event, but it’s your sponsorship and generous donations that really make the difference. Did you know that if every Tour de Moor cyclist commits to raising at least £100, we’ll collectively have enough to care for 100 families at home at the most crucial of times?

Join us as we ride as one for hospice care.
