Cycle Croatia

Have you ever wanted to go to Croatia and breath in the sea air and take in the beautiful landscape?? Well now is your chance with this exquisite three-day cycle along the Dalmatian coast of Croatia.

You will pedal over 300km in three days through postcard-perfect scenery with a bunch of other participates all waiting to raise some much-needed funds for their chosen charity.

We will mount your bike in the seaside city of Split and then make your way down the coast, stopping in the gorgeous Makarska, riding across the Adriatic island of Hvar and celebrating in the ancient, fortified city of Dubrovnik.

The route takes us through a dramatic canyon next to a river, on quiet roads through mountains and alongside a turquoise sea, until you will reach the royal finish line at Dubrovnik's medieval fortress.

The best part of this challenge is that you ride it all for The Primrose Foundation, maybe you could invite some friends or family to join in too? In three tough but stunning days, you can make a big impact for The Primrose Foundation, while having the experience of a lifetime and making a bunch of new friends.

If you are worried about fundraising please don't be... Cycle Croatia 2021 is an Open Challenge – this means you have the option to self-fund your participation and there is no minimum fundraising requirement.

You are, of course, more than welcome to commit to a minimum sponsorship target instead and fundraise for The Primrose Foundation.

Places are likely to go faster than ice cream at the seaside for this challenge, so please register soon to avoid disappointment.
