Families, festival-goers and sportspeople are signing up to take part in a ‘Mega’ sporting event and festival in Peterborough this summer to benefit disabled children.
The Shine Megacycle event will take place in Peterborough on Saturday 4th July. The event, which runs from 10.30am to 6pm, starts with a family friendly cycle ride around Ferry Meadows. Routes range from 3, 15, and 30 miles, so cover beginners to advanced, and there are pushchair and wheelchair-friendly route options.
Everyone can then enjoy a barbeque and festival vibe with music and entertainment at Oak Meadow, including local bands, funfair rides, games, sporting challenges, stalls, birds of prey, reptiles, exotics and more. All proceeds will help Shine’s work to benefit children with spina bifida and hydrocephalus.
Entry to the festival is free, with a small entry fee for the cycling challenge. Every cyclist wins a medal and top prize for the raffle wins a Carrera bike worth £250.
Shine’s Megacycle Event organiser, Shelley Green, commented: ‘We’re really excited about this event - places are going fast as families and experienced riders choose their route and raise funds for Shine. We’re delighted by the generous response from local businesses who have donated gifts or will be there on the day.’
If you would like to take part, volunteer on the day, or be there as a local business, contact Shelley on 01733 421307 or E: megacycle@shinecharity.org.uk or see the Shine Megacycle page to plan your route.
