Once again in 2025 all proceeds raised from the event are going to great local causes.
Unbelievably this year has taken the total raised since the Starley started to over £75,000 donated, with all this money going to local causes!
You are all amazing and help make this the brilliant event that it is !
The Starley Sportive is a cycling event that recognises the contributions of Coventry based inventors John Kemp Starley and James Starley to the cycling industry. What better way to do this than getting as many people as possible out on their bikes. In addition to this the difference with the Starley Sportive is that 100% of the profit from the event goes to charity, unlike a lot commercial sportives.
“Many thanks for an excellent Sportive today. Very well organised and sign posted, it was interesting to come at familiar roads from a different direction. At £10 it was very good value compared to a commercial sportive !!
Thanks to all involved and to Deeley Group for a magnificent HQ.”

“This was our first Sportive, and wow, how it has sparked something in us to achieve more, challenge ourselves and join the 1000’s of other cyclists who enjoy this ‘feel good’ sport. Feeling humble.”
