Cyclo Sportifs are long distance, organised, mass-participation cycling events - not races - typically held annually. Sportives are the cycling cousin of running’s marathon: as with the 26-mile event, rather than racing other participants, sportives see cyclists challenge themselves in a personal battle against the distance and then ultimately, the clock.
Riders normally carry a number and the time they take to complete the course is recorded. There is usually an upper time limit within which the course must be. The already lengthy course will traditionally include climbs and difficult riding conditions, adding to the kudos of the event e.g. Pendine Hill.
The routes will usually be well sign-posted and/or marshalled riders will be able to use feeding stations positioned at intervals along the route to replenish their food and drink supplies and mechanical and medical support may also be provided. Some attract thousands of participants - since 2000 l'Etape du Tour has offered places to 8,500 riders each year.
