Tour de 4 Raises £3.1M for Cancer Charities, Returns to Glasgow in 2026
February 26, 2026
The Tour de 4, a GoFundMe-backed fundraising event, raised over £3.1 million in its inaugural year of 2025 and will once again support five UK cancer charities—Breast Cancer Now, Cure Leukaemia, Macmillan Cancer Support, Maggie’s, and Prostate Cancer UK—with donations split equally among them.
In its first year, the Tour de 4 surpassed its £1 million target, drawing thousands of participants and high-profile supporters.
Sir Chris Hoy announced that Tour de 4 will return to Glasgow on Sunday, 6 September 2026, with registration opening in March.
Riders will follow a similar format to 2025, starting at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and choosing routes across different distances.
Hoy, diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in 2023, emphasized the personal significance of the event, its impact, and gratitude toward sponsors, charities, participants, and the local community.
Full details and participation information for Tour de 4 2026 are available at tourde4.com.
GoFundMe CEO Tim Cadogan lauded the fundraising success and signaled plans to grow the initiative further in 2026 while increasing awareness of stage 4 cancer.
The 2025 event drew support from a broad lineup of sports stars and broadcasters, highlighting cross-sector engagement.
Prostate Cancer UK’s Laura Kerby and Maggie’s CEO Dame Laura Lee underscored the importance of awareness, ongoing fundraising, and research, noting nearly £800,000 raised by Prostate Cancer UK riders in 2025 and the need for continued screening and support.
The event’s proceeds are evenly distributed among the five beneficiary charities to maximize impact across UK cancer work.
