800 cyclists have signed up for the Sportive Kinross.
Cycling is proving to be big business in Perth and Kinross.
Hot on the heels of the news that the popular Etape Caledonia sold out in record time, another fundraising event has also enjoyed a successful year.
All 800 spots on the 2014 Sportive Kinross were snapped up by eager participants in less than eight hours.
A further 20 free charity places given to the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) for the April 26 event were also filled quickly.
The event has raised more than £25,000 for the charity, which operates Rachel House hospice, over the last three years.
CHAS fundraiser Laura Campbell said: “The Sportive Kinross is a fantastic event for the area and we’re thrilled to receive support for a fourth year.
“Having raised a fantastic £25,000 to date, we’re hoping 2014 will be the best yet and help raise lots of money to support children and their families who use our hospice services.”
