Challenge yourself over the brutal Roubaix cobbles this April alongside thousands of other like minded cycling fanatics. Then watch the world’s best riders race over the very same cobbles during this action-packed weekend.
Paris Roubaix Challenge
There are 3 different distances to choose from, all finishing in the iconic outdoor velodrome in Roubaix.
The 70km distance (approx 45 miles) includes 8 cobbled sections, including the Carrefour de l’Arbre.
The 145km (approx 90 miles) route has 19 cobbled sections including the Arenberg.
The 170km (approx 105 miles) distance covers all 30 or so cobbled sections that are in the professional race. This distance starts in the town of Busigny, so we will transport you and your bike from Roubaix on Saturday morning. The number of places is limited due to the fact that Paris–Roubaix Femmes will be taking place on the same course on Saturday. This distance is accessible only to experienced cyclists, with an average speed required of 21.2km/h (13mph) over the 170km course including around 50km of cobblestones. This equates to 28km/h (17mph) on the road and 14km/h (8.5mph) on cobblestones.

Once you’ve completed your challenge and collected your medal, join the crowds watching the women’s race on the giant screens before cheering the riders into the velodrome. Then on Sunday you can watch as the men take on the cobbles. Join our casual group ride out to the Carrefour de l’Arbre, or watch from the velodrome.
