Tour of Suffolk - Wolf Way

Tour of Suffolk - Wolf Way

The Wolf Way adds bite to our latest charity cycle ride for 2024.

Following the success of our last two charity cycle rides on the quiet back roads of Suffolk, this time the Futurestars Charity and Ipswich Town Foundation are organising a completely brand-new challenge for our hardy group of cyclists.

With the help and support of Suffolk Growth and Elmy's Cycles; we are taking on Suffolk’s answer to Norfolk's 'Rebellion Way' route. Designed by local cyclists, Chris Bower & Sharon Calton, we are delighted to be utilising “The Wolf Way" which consists of 248 miles around many of the best bridleways, byways, gravel tracks, cycle paths and quiet back roads. The route will see you take on the ‘Mini Wolf’ starting at Ipswich Town Football Club finishing at the famous Wolf Statue in Bury St Edmunds. Alternatively if you would rather stick to the road then there is a second route entirely road based but still starting and finishing in the same locations. For information on the full route please visit - https://www.cyclinguk.org/route/wolf-way

Come and join us and challenge yourself at this amazing event and raise funds for two brilliant charities.
