Challenge Pierre Felgines is a one-day cycling event held in Aurillac, located in France's Cantal department within the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region. Organized by Cyclos du Velo Montagnard Aurillac, it uses the Maison des Sports as its base, with registration available throughout the morning and into the early afternoon. While primarily a cyclotourist ride, some event listings also mention cyclo-cross, positioning it within the local club-riding scene rather than a closed-road mass participation race.
The routes vary by year, but typically feature hilly road cycling instead of flat terrain. Options usually include distances of approximately 50 to 52 km, 70 km, 80 km with 1,000 m of elevation gain, and 90 km with 1,300 m of elevation gain. Entry fees are reasonable, with reduced rates for licensed participants and free entry for young riders noted in some listings. The event is also present in velomobile and long-distance cycling schedules, indicating it serves as a practical club outing for regular cyclists seeking distance, climbing challenges, and a straightforward departure from Aurillac.
