We are pleased to announce that the Etape Cymru will be returning to North Wales for 2012, after being taken over by experienced mass participation events company, Participate Sport.

The 2012 event will once again feature a hugely challenging and long route, fantastic scenery and local support. The route will receive some modifications from the 2011 edition, such as the Horseshoe Pass climb coming earlier in the ride. This means that riders can attempt the challenging ascent with fresh legs, while also helping to disperse the field to make marshaling an easier task, and allowing the road to re-open earlier.

By improving the running of the sportive for 2012, Participate Sport will ensure that the event matches the standard of the fantastic setting. Participate will be investing in key areas such as the start process and the integrity of the closed road, meaning riders will receive a top-class experience.

With extensive experience in the sport events industry, our team currently own and organise Cycletta, Cornwall Festival of Sport, British 10k London Run and Wiggle Dragon Ride. Many of our team, created and ran events such as Etape Caledonia, Etape Hibernia and Run to the Beat, while at IMG Mass Participation Sport.

The event will take place on Sunday 9th September 2012 under closed road conditions with the support of Wrexham and Denbighshire County Councils.
