The Kent Velo Girls Sportive is back for 2017. Starting at Hilden Park Golf & Leisure Club in Hildenborough, our three routes will take you on a journey through the beautiful winding lanes of Kent and Surrey with plenty of glorious scenery along the way. Whilst all riders are very welcome to join us, this is an event primarily organised for women by women. 

The event is friendly, well organised and is becoming well known for its fantastic feed stops supplied with home made brownies & flapjacks!

Hilden Park will also provide hot soup for all finishers.

We are delighted to be supporting a local charity this year:  Demelza is a children’s hospice charity in the south east of England, providing vital care to families across East Sussex, Kent and South East London.
