Le Cure - Hell of the North


Article image

Setting off from Nell Bank in Ilkley, home of the White Rose Classic, and wending its way through the beautiful, peaceful, idyllic, and absolutely brutal climbs that North Yorkshire has to offer, before welcoming everyone back for beers and BBQ at the end of a job well done – that's the Le Cure Hell of the North. It covers 109km with 2110m of climbing, which includes Barden Moor, Fountains Abbey, Menwith Hill and the gorgeous Burnsall Fell.


Le Cure was founded in 2014 after one of our friends was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then we’ve raised almost £4 million, with every penny going directly to fund research. We’re entirely volunteer-run and self-funded, so there are no overheads or salaries - every donation makes its way to the scientists working to find better treatments.


Until now, all of our fundraising has centred around our annual four-day ride in the French Alps. This year, however, we’re bringing Le Cure to Yorkshire for the very first time.
