Etape Caledonia

Etape Caledonia is the UK’s first closed road mass participation cycling event and takes place in Highland Perthshire each May. Starting and finishing in the beautiful village of Pitlochry, there are three distances to choose from, all of which take you along breath-taking rides through the spectacular Highlands and Perthshire countryside. Full event details can be found here.

45 miles: ages 17+ only
55 miles: ages 17+ only
85 miles: ages 18+ only

We will pay your entry fee, and you’ll get an Outfit Moray goody bag, plus lots of fuss and gratitude, in return for raising an agreed minimum sponsorship (varies depending on costs). We will also plant a tree in your name in our Trees for Life grove, to celebrate your support and achievement for generations to come. You can also purchase your own, fully branded, Outfit Moray cycling top to celebrate your participation.

Alternatively, you can chose to cover all the costs yourself, which will reduce your minimum sponsorship to £50.

Minimum Sponsorship: This type of fundraising brings in vital funds towards our unavoidable daily running costs such as rent, utilities, staff training, vehicle maintenance, IT support, tax, equipment and insurances, ensuring we are able to continue delivering our life-changing programme of outdoor learning and adventure opportunities for young people in Moray.

Whilst we appreciate just how tricky fundraising can be, we do incur costs for this type of fundraising including entry fees and admin time, so we do expect people to make every effort to raise their agreed minimum sponsorship, so we aren’t left out of pocket.

Please be aware that, if we haven’t received your minimum sponsorship within 3 months of the event, we would ask you to consider donating the shortfall yourself to make sure all our costs are covered.
