RAFA Rides, the RAF Association’s global cycling event, will return to RAF Leeming on Saturday 27 June.
RAFA Rides Leeming gives riders the chance to take in the scenic views of the North Yorkshire countryside while cycling through the RAF station that is home to the Hawk and Tutor aircraft.
RAFA Rides is more than a cycling event – it offers a chance for cyclists of all abilities to boost wellbeing, connect with others and enjoy the benefits of staying healthy and active.
Last year saw the RAFA Rides season expand to include four events throughout June at Kendrew Barracks, RAF Leeming, RAF Brize Norton and RAF Marham.
Now heading into its ninth year, the Association has launched a new 12-mile route for 2026, making RAFA Rides more accessible to anyone, regardless of their experience.
Liam Clark-Brown, Associate Director of Fundraising and Engagement at the RAF Association, said:
The growth of RAFA Rides has been exponential with over 6,500 people taking part since its inception in 2018. It has now become much more than a military cycling event, giving participants an opportunity to meet up with old friends, make new ones and challenge themselves both physically and mentally in a supportive environment.
