The biggest lawyers’ cycle race never to leave the ground is set to take place again on 16–17 October, raising valuable funds for Breast Cancer Care. The popular annual event sees barristers and solicitors racing on static bikes in their offices, following their competitors on a live leader board as they take turns to hop on for 15-minute slots per person. The total distance is 1,000km, the equivalent of London to Paris and back. Tour de Law has raised nearly £500,000, with 116 teams taking part, since its inception in 2012.
