Ride the Dartmoor Classic cycle event for charity.

The Dartmoor Classic is managed and run by cyclists from Mid Devon Cycle Club for the benefit of cycling, local cyclists and charities. Our chosen charities this year are Dartmoor focussed.

You do not have to make a donation when you enter the Dartmoor Classic but if you would like to there are a couple of options.

For 2026, the Dartmoor Classic main supported charity is Devon Air Ambulance. Details on how you can ride for them are available here.

There will also be the opportunity to donate to Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Ashburton during your entry process.

No to a cycle jersey, YES to a tree ?

We are pleased to announce that you can support tree planting on Dartmoor by choosing not to accept your Dartmoor Classic Cycle Jersey (FREE with entry) and instead we will send a donation to moortrees.org for them to plant a tree on your behalf. Your selection can be made at online entry and you will receive a coloured number to indicate your tree planting support.
Thanks to all of you who chose this option for your 2025 entry - You've planted 100 trees !


Take a quick look at our Dartmoor Classic video to see how it's run by members of Mid Devon Cycling Club and local volunteers.

The Dartmoor Classic not only donates to charities, we also donate to local sports clubs, schools, villages on route, Dartmoor Search and Rescue, the Air Ambulance plus many more each year. As a rider you can rest assured knowing that part of your entry fee supports Dartmoor National Park and the surrounding area.
