Get ready for an exciting day of cycling with San Fairy Ann CC's annual sportive, supporting the Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex. This year we’re introducing a short fresh 30-mile route to add to the challenging 100-mile Kent Tiger Ride and the scenic 60-mile Cruiser Classic.
Whether you are a seasoned pro or a keen amateur rider, the SFA Sportive is a beautiful challenge to take on. This year’s sportive includes three routes that all offer spectacular views, quiet country roads and, of course, the odd challenging climb! Enjoy the Kent scenery while completing stunning route. Take in the warm welcome of San Fairy Ann CC.
The SFA cycling event - one of our top events of 2026 - starts and finishes at the Memorial Hall, Goudhurst Road, Marden, Kent TN12 9JX, easily accessible by train.
All three routes showcase the Weald AONB for its rolling hills, diverse landscapes and wild untamed flora and fauna. The Long route makes its way to the most south-easterly reaches of the Kent Downs as it reaches Lydd on sea.
Of course, you’ll be rewarded for all your efforts as you cross the finish line to receive a finisher medal and other goodies from our partners.
Our Kent events are always popular, being so accessible for lots of riders so if you want to join us don’t hang about on this one. Grab an early bird discount if you are quick. We look forward to seeing you in May.
This event helps awareness of the fantastic work of the Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex and will add to the £63,927 the event has raised over the years for this invaluable cause. It has helped them fund ground-breaking medical techniques and treatments, now used ‘roadside’ to give patients the best possible outcomes.
