Do check out our latest event, Urbathon which takes place on 18th October.
The Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland Canal Cycle Challenge
This traffic-free challenge is suitable for all ages and for all levels of cyclists. You will have time to take in the scenery on this picturesque route. Ideal for families, groups or individuals!
50 or 25 miles?
The 50 mile route takes you from Glasgow to Edinburgh, along the tow paths of the Forth & Clyde and then Union canals.
If you don’t want to cycle the full 50 miles, take the option of 25 miles! Cycle between Glasgow and Falkirk or Falkirk and Edinburgh for an easier challenge.
The CHSS Ultimate Duathlon
Our famous canal cycle ride is a challenge but if you fancy really getting the adrenaline pumping, this is just for you! You will not only cycle the picturesque canal route but also jump off your bike and run the middle section of the course from the world-famous Falkirk Wheel to Linlithgow Canal Centre.
It’s the longest duathlon in Scotland! A real physical challenge and a great adventure! If you dare to participate in this devilish duathlon, we promise an incredible event. If you are a runner looking for a change or a cyclist needing a fresh challenge, why not tackle a duathlon?
Duathlon competitors will set off from Glasgow, cycling to the Falkirk Wheel. Here they will down bikes and run to Linlithgow Canal Centre. Upon arrival, participants will be reunited with their bikes, to cycle the final distance to Edinburgh.

Safety
Should you have a problem or have to give up for any reason, we will have a marshal cycling at the back as well as a vehicle following the route by road. You should bring a puncture repair kit, and our cycling marshal can help with minor repairs.
Cycle ride participants under sixteen should be accompanied by an adult.
All duathlon participants must be over 16.
Anyone under eighteen riding alone will need to complete the Parental/Legal Guardian’s Consent Form.
