There are three different distances for The Wales Sportive. The short distance of 42 miles, the mid-distance route of 70 miles, as well as the full distance course of 112 miles, for the athletes who really want to push their limits.
The Wales Sportive is an open road event, so traffic from cars and other vehicles will needs to expected whilst out on the route. Signs and marshals will be placed at junctions and points along the route to help monitor this, as well as manning water and feed stations for cyclists use.
Cyclists competing in each of the categories will have a staggered start, with the 112 mile athletes starting first and the 42 mile athletes leaving last. The 42 mile course will be one lap of the small circuit, whilst 70 mile cyclists will head off towards Angle before finishing the small circuit. The 112 mile course follows the same route as the 70 mile course; however has an extra lap of the small circuit before reaching the finish line.
