A major Caribbean-wide cycling race held each July in memory of Anguillian cycling pioneer John Thomas, drawing riders from across the region for demanding 85-mile Elite and 60-mile Junior and Masters courses over the island's rolling coastal roads, each summer, alongside the concurrent Valley Street Festival.
The John T.
Few Caribbean cycling events draw as international a field relative to their host island's size: John T
regularly attracts riders from eight or more Eastern Caribbean territories, making Anguilla's roads a genuine regional racing circuit for one July weekend each year
Pairing the race with the Valley Street Festival's food, vendors and community groups near the Peoples Market also gives visitors a fuller island cultural experience alongside the athletic spectacle
The race is held every July specifically to mark John T's birthday
a deliberate and unchanging tribute the Anguilla Cycling Association has maintained since the race's founding in his memory
