<\/a><\/p>\nDespite the wet weather, last year\u2019s event saw nearly 100 participants, including some crew, saddle up whilst raising funds for the all-Wales charity.<\/p>\n
Like last year, after leaving Cardiff, cyclists will head towards Bridgend, pedal through Port Talbot and pass through Swansea before finishing their Cycle 100km.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re a seasoned cyclist or a first-time racer, Cycle 100km is aimed at having fun, enjoying the scenic views and celebrating the local cycling community.<\/p>\n
Joining the challenge this year is ex-Welsh and British and Irish Lions rugby legend, Shane Williams MBE.<\/p>\n
The 2008 World Rugby Player of the Year has been showing his support for the all-Wales Charity following a partnership announcement last year with his sportswear brand, Agilis.<\/p>\n
Shane said: \u201cI am very proud to say that myself and Agilis will be working in partnership with Wales Air Ambulance.<\/p>\n

LAST YEAR: Cycle 100km for the Wales Air Ambulance fundraising event in 2024<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, it\u2019s a fantastic charity and cause, we\u2019ve all seen the great work that they have done, how amazing they are and the difference they make to a lot of people\u2019s lives, so I am very proud to be associated with them on this adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Entry costs \u00a3100 per participant and includes a Wales Air Ambulance cycling jersey, which must be worn on the day of the event.<\/p>\n
In addition, participants will have the chance to meet Shane and some of the crew, will receive a bespoke event medal, and have support along the route at dedicated feed stations.<\/p>\n
More importantly, cyclists will have the heartwarming feeling of knowing that every stride they take will be in support of the lifesaving charity, enabling the all-Wales service to deliver advanced critical care across Wales.<\/p>\n
There is no minimum sponsorship, but the charity encourages cyclists to go the extra mile (or kilometre) by asking their friends and family to support them on their challenge.<\/p>\n
Over the years, many cyclists have supported the all-Wales charity; having had a personal connection to the cause, or in the knowledge that they may need the crew\u2019s help one day.<\/p>\n
Wales Air Ambulance needs to raise \u00a311.2 million every year to keep its helicopters in the air and rapid response vehicles on the road.<\/p>\n
Nina Rice, Head of Fundraising – High Value Partnerships for the Wales Air Ambulance, said: \u201cWe are delighted to announce that after last year\u2019s success we Cycle 100km for Wales Air Ambulance event is back.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year we were pleased with the turnout of our first mass-participant fundraiser for our lifesaving charity.<\/p>\n
\u201cFingers crossed the weather is a little kinder this year, but if not, it won\u2019t dampen our spirits.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really appreciate the support of everyone who took part last year and would be delighted if they entered again this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a wonderful opportunity for cyclists, who would like to set themselves a challenge, to get together and achieve a personal goal, whilst raising funds for the charity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you sign up with family, friends or sports groups and play your own part in helping save lives across Wales.<\/p>\n
\u201cFundraising events, like this one, will help us to continue to be there for the people of Wales 24\/7.\u201d<\/p>\n
