Darlington Cycling Festival

A long-established event in conjunction with Darlington’s Local Motion initiative to encourage people to increase their health and well-being through cycling.

This event runs between April and September with up to 20 different rides for all abilities. All one-day events start and finish locally, with some travelling as far as Cumbria, and up to 500 riders at the biggest event. The Cycling Family Fun Day is held in June at the recently refurbished South Park, including a ‘bikathon’ for the whole family.
