-- INEX Club has announced the return of its annual charity cycling event, the 2025 INEX Charity Ride, scheduled for May 10 in Limassol, Cyprus. Now in its third year, this philanthropic initiative aims to raise funds for the Cyprus Cycling Federation's youth development programs by challenging participants to complete either a 200km or 100km route across the island's diverse terrain.
The 2025 edition builds upon the success of last year's event, which saw more than 70 cyclists participate and generated sufficient funding to equip junior cyclists with professional gear. This year's ride will feature two meticulously planned routes showcasing Cyprus' natural beauty while offering varying degrees of challenge for participants of all skill levels.
"What began as a personal challenge for our club members and other cyclists has evolved into a significant charitable movement that truly impacts the future of cycling in Cyprus," said Viacheslav Kuznetsov, co-founder of INEX Club. "The overwhelming community response to previous rides inspired us to expand our vision and focus on supporting young athletes who represent the future of our sport but often lack access to proper equipment and training resources."
The 200-kilometer route spans 210 kilometers and gains 2,843 meters in elevation, starting and ending at the WAY bikes headquarters in Germasogeia. Riders will journey through breathtaking landscapes, passing the Holy Church of Panagia Iamatika, Caffè Nero Dali, and coastal areas near Marinoparea until they return to the WAY bikes.
For those seeking a more accessible challenge, the 100km route covers 114 kilometers with a 1,022-meter elevation gain and features two support stops. Both routes emphasize safety and participant experience, designed to accommodate varying paces and ensure all riders can enjoy the post-event celebration together.
The INEX Charity Ride has also designated pit stops that will provide refreshments, warm meals, and mechanical support throughout the journey. It also features comprehensive support systems, including mechanic-staffed vehicles patrolling the routes, GPS tracking for real-time monitoring of participants, and a festive post-ride celebration at the WAY bikes with showers, refreshments, and community gathering space.
The event has secured sponsorship from entrepreneur and former professional cyclist Igor Makarov and his company ARETI International Group. Makarov has also participated in the 2024 Charity Ride and the 2024 Areti Gran Prix Cyprus, highlighting his continued commitment to developing cycling talent and improving the quality of the sport in the region.
"We are happy to once again be part of this great initiative and create a sustainable pathway for talented young riders in Cyprus," Igor Makarov mentions. "Many young cyclists with natural ability never get the opportunity to develop their skills due to financial barriers. Every kilometer our participants ride helps break down these barriers and opens doors for the next generation of cyclists."
Viacheslav Kuznetsov shares, "When riders cross the finish line, they're not just completing a personal journey—they're directly contributing to a young cyclist's opportunity to pursue their dreams. That powerful combination of personal challenge and community support defines the spirit of the INEX Charity Ride."
Registration for the event is free, with participants encouraged to secure donations from supporters. The inclusive approach has attracted cyclists of various backgrounds and abilities, from competitive amateur athletes to recreational riders seeking a meaningful challenge.
All proceeds from the 2025 event will directly fund bicycles, helmets, and training equipment for young athletes supported by the Cyprus Cycling Federation. Please visit the INEX Club’s website for registration details.
As of today, the event is proudly supported by sponsors ARETI International Group, INEX Development, and Mayflower — as well as partners: WAY bikes, RAY Kitchen & Bar, Activate, and Cycling Cyprus.
