ETAPE du dales 2026
Following last year's success the ETAPE du dales is back for 2026! The same challenging terrain as you have come to expect from the team that has delivered this iconic event for over 20 years!
ETAPE du dales - 2026
With a brand new HQ in the centre of the market town of Settle we have an exciting prospect for 2026, taking in a whole host of stiff climbs and challenges in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Following rider feedback the route has been slightly modified and will be 170km and have almost 3,200m of ascent, so very much in keeping with the previous challenging routes.

mini ETAPE
Covering some of the same roads as the main event, at just over 110km the Mini Etape is the perfect way to sample the delights of the dales (and some of the climbs), so if you're not sure the main Etape is for you, enjoy the Mini Etape and see what delights the Yorkshire Dales has to offer.

At the Rayner Foundation we enjoy and support cycling! Whether you're dreaming to be the next Tour de France winner, or planning an epic multi-day adventure we salute you for sharing our deep love of the sport.
The Etape du Dales was conceived as a road ride in memory of the foundation's namesake, and there's no denying that it is a serious challenge but, there are many who relish the challenge of something a little different, and so again this year we have added a tough and challenging 80km gravel ride to our event.
