Formerly known as the Corporate Challenge, this year we're going back to our roots and re-introducing the Community Cup and welcoming an even wider range of participants. Teams can now choose to compete in either the Corporate Cup or the Community Cup in the 2026 Team Challenge!
Whether you're lining up alongside your workmates in the Corporate Cup or rallying a club, group, sports team, or a few friends for the Community Cup, the Team Challenge is a unique opportunity to challenge yourself and enjoy some healthy competition along the way while getting fitter over winter!
Teams of 4–5 riders will train together through a progressive six-week coached programme, with weekly track sessions designed to build skills and confidence. The programme is suitable for complete beginners through to experienced cyclists and includes all the preparation needed to compete, as well as the accreditation modules required to continue riding at the velodrome after the event.
No previous track cycling experience is required, and all bikes and riding equipment are provided.
On race day, teams will go head-to-head in one of track cycling's most exciting events - the Italian Pursuit - as they race for glory and the chance to be crowned Corporate Cup or Community Cup Champions.
The excitement doesn't stop on the track. Race day brings everyone together in a vibrant festival atmosphere, complete with food trucks, entertainment, networking opportunities, and plenty of support from teammates, family, friends, and spectators.
Training begins Sunday 2nd August, with Race Day taking place on Saturday 12 September.
