The Tour de Manc returns for 2026! 🚴🏻♂️
The annual cycling spectacular has returned to the streets of Greater Manchester for 2026!
The Tour de Manc has returned to the streets of Manchester for its 2026 event, and once again has certainly not disappointed with its turnout.
The annual event is an opportunity for cyclists of any background or ability to come together and ride around the streets of Manchester with the chance to raise money for their chosen charities.
This year, The Tour de Manc hosted 4 different rides. These ranged from: The Mad Manc, The Classic Manc, The Manc Challenge and The Northern Quarter ride. All of these come with their own challenges which can differ in length or climbs.
The Tour de Manc was initially founded in 2014 by Danny Franks. Danny rode an 80 mile Tour de Manc route solo to fundraise for Forever Manchester raising over £1000. In 2016, he joined forces with an old friend, Tony Rubins where together they created the all for charity, non-profit organisation The Tour de Manc Ltd.
According to the website, the Tour de Manc idea was simple. It was “to run epic cycling events which could also be used to raise significant funds for registered charities, as well as supporting cycling inclusivity for all.”
Full image galleries will be available for everyone to view up to 10 days after the event.
