Leading UK multisport event organiser Human Race has confirmed that online retail giant, Wiggle, will be the new headline sponsor for the 2013 Etape Cymru which was voted the UK’s best sportive in 2012. This follows the news that Wiggle will also be extending its partnership with the Etape Cymru’s sister event, the prestigious Wiggle Dragon Ride.
To celebrate the partnership, Human Race will be launching the Wiggle Dragon Double, a promotion offering guaranteed entry to both the sold-out Wiggle Dragon Ride and the Wiggle Etape Cymru for £110. There are 100 spots available and places will be available from 09:00 GMT on Monday 28 January on a first come first served basis.
On Sunday 9 September the hugely popular Wiggle Etape Cymru takes place with the event being described by event ambassador and Olympic Gold medallist Geraint Thomas as “gruelling” but “fantastic.”
The 92 mile route is once again taking place on closed roads, offering participants an unparalleled experience of riding in this spectacular area of Wales with full use of the course. Starting and finishing in Wrexham, the Wiggle Etape Cymru features some truly testing terrain, making it one of the most challenging events on the sportive calendar.
The 10th edition of the legendary Wiggle Dragon Ride, which has sold out every year since its inception, takes place on Sunday 9 June 2013. The event will start once again from the picturesque Margam Park and includes two challenging route options, the Gran Fondo (206K) and the Medio Fondo (125K). An extra addition to the event this year is the inclusion of a women-only Cycletta, which will replace the previous Corto distance.
Entries for the Wiggle Dragon Double open at 9:00 on Monday 28 January, costing £110, and are available on a strictly first come first served basis.
