The Tour de 4 is an initiative launched by Sir Chris Hoy to change the perception of people living with stage 4 cancer and to raise vital funds for cancer charities across the UK. Tour de 4 also aims to help connect those affected by cancer.
“Tour de 4 is all about bringing people together and Zwift is the perfect platform to do this,” says Hoy, a 6x Olympic Champion and Level 70 Zwifter. “I get so much out of my Zwift rides, meeting and engaging with a brilliant community. I’m particularly excited to have a few special guests confirmed for the 8th so come and join us if you can – you never know who you might end up riding alongside!”
Event Schedule
Sir Chris Hoy will be joined on the February 8th kickoff ride by special guests including Philip Hindes, Duncan Scott, Lucy Charles-Barclay, Sam Laidlow, and Freddy Ovett. There are already over 800 riders signed up!
