21 Sept 2026Sir Chris Hoy’s Tour de 4 returns for 2026 – pedalling for progress, powered by hope
Thousands of cyclists, stars and sporting heroes returned to Glasgow for Olympic legend Sir Chris Hoy's cycling ride, Tour de 4.
More than 4,500 cyclists returned to Glasgow on Sunday 6 September 2026, for the second edition of Sir Chris Hoy’s Tour de 4 ride. The Tour de 4 ride is geared towards challenging perceptions and collective hope – showing that a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, while devasting, doesn’t define what’s possible.
Following the success of the inaugural event in 2025, riders of all ages and abilities came together for a remarkable celebration of determination, community and hope. Participants have already raised £2.7 million for cancer charities across the UK this year, building on the £3.1 million raised last year.
Sir Chris Hoy’s Tour de 4 continues to show how sport can unite people behind a shared cause and create lasting impact.
A phenomenal milestone for us
Over 700 incredible riders joined our team and wore our Man of Men with pride in Glasgow, achieving something remarkable. And the event's impact extends far beyond the finish line. Our riders have already raised more than £560,000 – and over £1.3 million since 2025.
Every mile ridden and every pound raised will help fund groundbreaking research, support services and campaigns that bring us closer to a world where no man dies from prostate cancer.
The team included men living with prostate cancer, family members riding in honour of loved ones, supporters who had lost friends and relatives to the disease, and cyclists determined to help save men's lives. Their commitment and generosity were a powerful reminder of the strength of our community.
A star-studded day in Glasgow
The atmosphere in Glasgow was made even more special thanks to an incredible line-up of sporting legends, broadcasters and celebrity supporters who joined Sir Chris throughout the weekend.
Among those lending their support, and proudly supporting us were Sir Steve and Lady Ann Redgrave, Matt Barbett, Tim Peake, Kenny Logan, Naga Munchetty, and Charlie Stayt.
Why Tour de 4 matters
Tour de 4 exists to challenge perceptions around Stage 4 cancer and to inspire hope.
Sir Chris has been clear that while a Stage 4 diagnosis can be life-changing, it should not define what someone can achieve. The event has become a visible demonstration of people choosing to keep living life to the fullest, supporting one another and showing what is possible after diagnosis.
Too many men are diagnosed too late, when their cancer has already advanced. It doesn’t have to be this way. By raising awareness, encouraging men to understand their risk and campaigning for better approaches to early detection, we can change that. So that ultimately, more men are diagnosed earlier, when prostate cancer is easier to treat and can often be cured.
Looking back, and looking forward
As the second Tour de 4 comes to a close, there's plenty to celebrate: thousands of cyclists, millions raised for charity and hundreds of thousands of pounds generated by Team Prostate Cancer UK alone.
But we must also remember those from the community who we’ve lost. Bob Carr was a passionate cyclist, campaigner and fundraiser, who took part in this year’s Tour de 4 with his Grandson Alasdair. You can read his touching tribute to Bob on the Tour de 4 website and for anyone wishing to give in Bob’s memory please visit his GoFundMe page.
We thank Bob’s family for sharing his story with us and our thoughts are with them. We echo their request for privacy to grieve. We will all remember Bob and hope his story can be celebrated by everyone involved in Tour de 4, both this year and for many years to come.
