Tour O The Borders is a closed road sportive taking place in the beautiful Scottish Borders on Sunday 3 September 2023, starting and finishing in Peebles in the Scottish Borders.

The ‘Touro’ routes travel mainly over quiet, picturesque back roads and climb several stiff hills along the way. Challenging but rewarding, the routes; The Challenge and The Full feature the most amazing natural scenery and some of the best road cycling terrain in Scotland – what better way to take your mind off your efforts than by enjoying this beautiful part of Scotland!

We’re delighted to be able to change the route for 2023 and make what a lot of people say was already the best closed road sportive in the UK even better!

We know these events are relatively expensive, but we’re also committed to making this the best value-for-money closed road sportive in the country.

Full Route: 120km/1615m ascent   |  Challenge Route 88km/984m ascent

Entry Prices: There’s no doubt Closed Road Sportive events are expensive, but if you’ve done one before at least you’ll realise the scale of the traffic management and safety planning that goes into it. We’ve kept prices as low as possible and have managed to keep it the same as last year where possible. Early entry offers will actually make it cheaper than 2022!
