The Etape Loch Ness is the closed road cycle sportive following the 66-mile route around Loch Ness starting and finishing in Inverness. We would like to thank all the local communities, residents and businesses along the route for their support and patience. The event has raised over £1.6million since 2014 for MacMillan Cancer Support.  Many other charities have also benefitted.  

Temporary Traffic Restrictions 

 
We have kept traffic restrictions to a minimum to ensure the safety of participants and other road users. Roads will be closed in both directions to create a safe traffic-free environment for the event. You can download a summary of these below to see which roads will be affected.

Would you like to volunteer? 

 
The event could not happen without the support and commitment of our amazing volunteers.  If you would like to join our team, experience the event and raise money for a local charity of your choice, or your community group, then please get in touch with us now here.
