The free-to-watch event will see twenty corporate teams swap their business suits for lycra to race against each other and the clock on a 1km closed-road circuit from 6.30pm on 15 September.

The race will take the form of an Italian pursuit for eight riders over four kilometres, with the lead rider peeling off every 500m, leaving the final four riders to race the final 2km.
