A fun, family event, the Bikeathon involves cyclists of all abilities covering a pre-determined, stewarded route of either 13 or 26 miles. The route runs from Kelvingrove Park and makes it way to Clydebank where there is a halfway point with refreshments. The second part follows the Forth and Clyde Canal cyclepath, then on to Kelvin way and back into Kelvingrove Park. Children must be over 7 years old, and all under 16's must be accompanied by an adult. Last year over £41,000 was raised in sponsorship for the Leukaemia Research Fund Centre and we you can help to raise even more this year!
