The Rugby League Cares Cycling Challenge has become an annual highlight, providing unique opportunities and experiences for those involved while raising substantial sums to help seriously injured players through the Benevolent Fund.
And in June 2026, the Challenge will break new ground with a first Ciclo Italiano - a five-day ride through the glorious heart of Tuscany.
Those who are up for the challenge will embark on a circular trip of around 300 miles starting and ending in Pisa, taking in the cities of Florence and Arezzo, and the stunning medieval hill towns of San Quirico and San Gimignano.
Good company is guaranteed with a number of Rugby League celebrities already confirmed to join the ride. The event is fundraising for the RL Benevolent Fund, who provide support for seriously injured players. Every penny raised goes to the fund, to help those who most need it.
With a handful of places left, it's not too late to join the team.
If you're interested in taking on a tough but rewarding physical challenge, in making friends for life, and in helping the RL Benevolent Fund continue to support seriously injured players, contact
