The most beautiful closed road sportive in the UK is back with a bang.

After a huge show of public support for the event from communities around the route, Touro will return in 2025 on the same stunning route as in 2023 - taking in the Devil’s Beeftub, Moffat Dale, Grey Mare’s Tail. Even the short version includes the epic Talla climb and Megget traverse, but either option showcases some of the best road cycling in the UK.
