Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 20: Following the resounding success of its previous editions, HCL Cyclothon Noida 2026 is set to return with its fourth edition on March 15, 2026, along the Gaur City Mall Road, Noida.

The event will feature Asia's largest prize purse for a cycling race with a prize pool of Rs. 30 lakh, reinforcing its position as one of India's premier cycling events.

Since its launch in 2023, HCL Cyclothon has rapidly grown into one of India's premier road cycling events. Now held annually in Bangalore, Noida, Chennai, and Hyderabad, and it has so far attracted approximately 16,000 cyclists from across the country. With strong support from state governments, the event provides a safe, vehicle-free environment, encouraging participation and smooth infrastructure for the participant cyclists. The HCL Cyclothon is envisioned as a platform to showcase both professional talent and amateur enthusiasm, while inspiring a new generation to take up cycling as a sport and a sustainable lifestyle choice.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr Rajat Chandolia, AVP & Head of Brand Strategy, HCL Group, said, "We are proud to see HCL Cyclothon gain massive momentum as we enter our fourth year in Noida. Our journey began in 2023 with 1,300 cyclists, and by our third edition, we had already doubled that participation. We are even more hopeful this year as we tap into a booming culture where 67% of urban Indians now ride at least once a week--the highest participation rate globally. By driving a collective shift toward endurance and a lifestyle revolution, the HCL Cyclothon serves as the perfect realisation of our vision: 'Human Potential Multiplied'."

The Cycling Federation of India, the official governing body for cycle racing in India, will once again lend its technical expertise and operational support to ensure the event meets global standards.
