Firstly we are delighted to be able to announce that we are now a registered charity, Strathaven Cycle Events (SC054733). We will continue to use Round Strathaven 50 (RS50) and 15 (RS15) as the "brand" though. Unfortunately this process has taken MUCH longer than anticipated hence the delay in launching - apologies!

Entry Central will open for entries on Sunday 15th at 5pm. This year's event will take place on Sunday 16th August. As always, we expect a lot of interest in so please enter early to get the start you want.

Many thanks

Apologies for the delay in opening Entry Central for the 2026 event (16th August). We are in the process of converting to a charity and setting up the new bank account is taking MUCH longer than expected. We are hopeful that everything will be sorted in the next few weeks and we can open for entries late February. In the meantime make sure the event is in your diary!

A brief update on how the money raised this year has been distributed and the 2026 date for your diary.

Save the date : The 2026 Round Strathaven Cycle will be held on Sunday 16th August. Entry Central will open early 2026 - keep an eye out for the pre-opening email.

We have been able to distribute an incredible £18,000 from the 2025 Round Strathaven Cycle. The beneficiaries of the effort you all put in getting round the routes were:
Strathaven Guides and Scouts who received £4,500 each towards Hall upkeep and other costs.
The 4 rural primary schools we cycle past (Gilmourton, Sandford, Glassford and Chapelton) shared £1000 to be used as their PTA felt appropriate.
Strathaven Academy received £1000 to be used as their PTA felt appropriate.
Strathaven Memory Club received £500 towards materials.
Finally Heath Help International, a charity we have supported for many years, received £6,500. This will significantly help with a project they are working on in India to buy land and build a new school for the Happy Valley Special Needs School. The work this charity does with relatively small amounts of money is incredible. Please have a look at their website : hhi.org.uk
Alongside this the Loaves & Fishes Foodbank received over a 1000 food donations from everyone taking part.
Thank you all so much for supporting the Round Strathaven over the years and making a huge impact locally and internationally.

Have a great Christmas!

Did you know that as well as the massive quantities of delicious home-baking that are donated for the cake-stops we also get these amazingly generous and tasty donations from local businesses Alexander Taylor, Roasted and The Heron? If you enjoyed the cakes on the day please support these businesses by buying more along with their great coffee! All are great cycle stops.
We also get our sausage rolls from local butcher Alexanders and our milk comes from Park Farm near Chapelton. Talk about low food miles and community support!!
Of course we cannot forget Tunnocks who generously donate their famous wafers for the 15-mile refuelling stop.
