Conquer the Alps Cycling Challenge
17-21 September 2009

Tackle tough mountain climbs made famous by the Tour de France on this brand new Macmillan challenge. With three Hors Categorie climbs, Conquer the Alps will really test your legs and leave you with the same sense of satisfaction felt by the cycling elite.

Spectacular views of mountain peaks, alpine valleys and hanging glaciers make the long twisting climbs worthwhile. Our challenge ends with two of the toughest and most renowned ascents in the region: the demanding Col du Galibier and the steep hair-pin bends of Alpe d'Huez.

'The cycling was some of the toughest I have ever done, but when you're finding it really hard, knowing that you're doing it for Macmillan keeps you going. The team spirit generated by the group, and the feeling that you're doing something positive to help an amazing charity, makes the hills feel worthwhile.'

Marco, Cycling Challenge Participant, 2007
