I am taking part in Le Cure de France 2026 to support the important work done by the Royal Marsden. Also because a while ago I said in passing to one of my colleagues it looked like "a pleasant ride in the French countryside". So she signed me up (thanks Sam). Le Cure was established in 2014 to raise money for cancer research.  Every August, “Le Cure de France” sees Curistas take on some of the Tour de France’s toughest climbs in the French Alps over four gruelling days.  So far Le Cure have raised over £3.3 million for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and created six Le Cure research fellowships.

About Le Cure 2026

Dear Curistas

As you probably know, if you've got this far, Le Cure de France is a charity cycling event established in 2014 to raise money for breast cancer research at the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.  So far we have raised over £3.8 million to fund our 8 Le Cure Research Fellowships (and counting), but have much more work to do to help cure cancer. 

The route for 2026 includes the formidable Cime de la Bonette (the highest paved road in the Alps), the Col de l'Iseran (the highest mountain pass) and the might Col d'Izoard - fondly remembered from our first ever Le Cure. 

Sign up and get cycling!  We can't wait for you to join us in the Alps to raise money to fund new, cutting-edge cancer research at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
