Tour de Law returns

The annual, epic Tour de Law 2026 returns on 14 October, giving legal professionals up and down the country the opportunity to go head-to-head in a cycling tournament like no other

Last year, the static bike challenge covered 11,911.53km and raised more than £122,000 for the charity Breast Cancer Now.

Each office is given two static bikes for the race. Participants take turns to cycle 15-minute slots following a route of 20 virtual landmarks starting at the Royal Courts of Justice and finishing at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

Last year’s winning team cycled 901.44km.

Sign up for this year's race here.
