SFACC Sportive 2026

Join San Fairy Ann CC for the SFACC Sportive 2026, a scenic cycling challenge through the rolling hills of the Weald AONB that raises funds for Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex. Riders of all abilities are welcome: whether you are a seasoned sportive rider or a keen amateur, the event offers three routes to suit different abilities, including a new 30-mile Orchard Loop. The long route reaches the south-easterly edge of the Kent Downs and heads as far as Lydd on Sea, while all courses use quiet country lanes and feature the odd rewarding climb.

The event starts and finishes at the Memorial Hall on Goudhurst Road in Marden, TN12 9JX, conveniently accessible by train. Finishers will receive a medal and goodies from partners, and the event has already raised more than A363,927 for the air ambulance over the years. Entries open on 1 November 2025, with early bird places available; standard entries increase on 1 February and there is a higher on-the-day rate, so book early to secure the best price.

Routes are unsigned, so riders should use a GPS device, ride with someone who has one, or download the routesheet and map. For more information email Stephen at events@sanfairyanncc.co.uk and prepare to enjoy excellent Kent countryside and a warm SFA welcome in May 2026.
