Tour de Law: back in the saddle

Tour de Law, the UK’s only cycle race for the legal sector, will take place this year from Wednesday 11 to Thursday 12 October.

Now in its 11th year, Tour de Law has raised over £1m for breast cancer research and support since it began in 2012. Members of the legal sector are invited to join the annual charity cycle race held by Breast Cancer Now, with static bikes on offer to help participants clock up as many kilometres as possible from 8am on Wednesday until 4.30pm on Thursday.

The team to cycle the furthest and raise the most money will be crowned Tour de Law Champion 2023, and receive the coveted Tour de Law trophy.

For further information, please contact Goody at tourdelaw@breastcancernow.org.
