Jiffy’s Cancer 50 Challenge
Welsh rugby legend Jonathan ‘Jiffy’ Davies leads an annual 56-mile bike ride from Cardiff to Swansea in August.
Help us tackle cancer in South & West Wales! Join us on Sunday 15th August 2027 for the 7th year of Jiffy’s Cancer 50 Challenge.
Last year, more than 445 riders saddled up for the annual cycle challenge, and we hope to exceed this in 2027! During the build-up to each event, our riders have fundraised with heartfelt passion, helping us raise more than £375,000 for cancer services in Singleton Hospital’s SWWCC and Velindre Cancer Centre.
Proceeds from the ride are split between Swansea Bay Health Charity and Velindre Cancer Charity to support cancer services across South Wales. Riders will tackle the challenging 56-mile route from Cardiff City Stadium to Swansea’s Bracelet Bay.
Led by Welsh rugby icon Jonathan ‘Jiffy’ Davies, this year’s ride will be the seventh year in a row. We’re inviting you to help us take things to the next level for Jiffy’s Cancer 50 Challenge 2027. Are you in?

Jiffy said:
“This event, and the charities it supports, are very close to my heart. We had people on the ride who are currently having cancer treatment. On the darkest of days, days like this need to be celebrated.”
