Le Tour D'Melaka Fellowship Ride 2026

Le Tour D’Melaka Fellowship Ride 2026 is a premier cycling event set against the rich historical backdrop of Melaka, organised in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026. Taking place on 29 August 2026 (Saturday), the ride starts and finishes at Dataran Bersejarah, Ayer Keroh, welcoming cyclists of all levels, from seasoned endurance riders to casual weekend pedallers, in a spirit of fellowship and camaraderie.

Three distance categories cater to a wide range of abilities. The 145km route is the ultimate challenge, traversing Merlimau, Jasin, and Nyalas with three water stations at KM32, KM70, and KM99. The 70km route takes riders through Merlimau and Serkam with stops at KM32 and KM47. For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the 30km route loops through Ayer Molek and Bemban, with water stations at KM10 and KM19. All routes are circular, returning to the iconic starting point in Ayer Keroh.

All participants, regardless of category, receive a bicycle number plate, finisher medal, PA insurance coverage, e-certificate, jersey or T-shirt (based on registration tier), an after-ride meal, and a lucky draw entry. Early bird pricing ended on 25 June 2026, so normal rates now apply: local fees from RM70 and international fees from USD20. Participants choose between an event jersey or T-shirt at registration. There are also special awards for clubs and teams: best outfit, highest registered riders, and most awesome club or team in each bicycle category.

This event is open to both local and international participants, making it a truly global celebration of cycling in one of Malaysia’s most treasured UNESCO World Heritage states. Organised by Nest Sports Academy with Tanjak Adventure & Tour, and supported by the Melaka State Government, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, and Tourism Melaka, MFR 2026 is not just a ride, it’s an experience.
