Southampton Sporterium
My Journey is excited to sponsor the Southampton Sporterium for another year.
The hugely anticipated event for cyclists returns to Southampton on 1st April 2023, with My Journey sponsoring the event again this year. The Southampton Sporterium offers riders two Sportives plus a free family ride area as part of 'Spin City'.
It is set to be a fun filled day event in the city, thanks to the event organisers ReesLeisure, who also run the popular ABP Southampton Marathon, Winchester Half Marathon, Southampton Sailing Week, TryTri Events and Wessex Swim School.
Sportives:
The Sporterium offers two Sportives on the day with distances of 60km and 100km. Those routes allow riders to cycle around Hampshire, taking in the countryside as they complete their chosen route at their own pace.
Register for either the 60KM or 100KM Sportive here
