On 30 July 2027, some of the world's best female cyclists will race through Kirklees as the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift comes to Britain for the very first time.
The race will start in Leeds then cross over into Kirklees, travelling through Heckmondwike, Mirfield and Huddersfield before heading south towards the Pennines and on to Manchester.
A first for Britain. A big moment for Kirklees.
Summer 2027 will see cycling history made as the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift both begin in Great Britain. This is the first time both races have started in the same country outside of France.
