Tour de Manc 2026

Are you up for an epic cycle challenge right here in Greater Manchester? The Tour de Manc awaits!

Your ride will take you past many of the impressive sights that Manchester has to offer, fuelled by an amazing atmosphere from supporting crowds along the way.

With four routes to choose from, the Tour de Manc is perfect for cyclists of all abilities:

The Mad Manc – 201km cycle

The Classic Manc – 165km cycle

The Manc Challenge – 100km cycle

The Northern Quarter – 60km cycle

There are some exciting changes for the Tour de Manc routes in 2026, with some great new roads for all four rides, and the best bits of previous years retained.

New features include a northern loop for the Manc Challenge, a new feed station for the Northern Quarter, and a trip further south for the Mad Manc to take on the iconic Brickworks climb and a route through New Mills. The three longe rides now travel along diverse routes over the hills to the North of Rochdale and across Rawtenstall.
