With the same passion for cycling and an even greater spirit of giving, the Lexus Cycling Dream Team returns this year with the now-established “Race of Love,” dedicating this year’s effort to the “Stella Soulioti” Children’s Therapy Center of the Cyprus Red Cross.
On November 6 and 7, 2026, team members will cover 165 challenging kilometers of off-road terrain, starting from the Cyprus Red Cross Headquarters in Nicosia and ending at the “Stella Soulioti” Children’s Therapy Center “Stella Soulioti” Children’s Therapy Center in Limassol, transforming every kilometer—for yet another year—into a message of solidarity and tangible social contribution.
The Lexus Cycling Dream Team consists of executives from the Cypriot business community who share a love for cycling, as well as the belief that the power of the team can be harnessed for a greater cause. Through the “Races of Love” held in previous years, the team has supported major charitable organizations and foundations, raising more than €80,000 to date for initiatives with a meaningful social impact.
For the children of the “Stella Soulioti” Therapeutic Center
This year’s Race for Love is dedicated to the “Stella Soulioti” Children’s Therapeutic Center, one of the longest-running programs of the Cyprus Red Cross.
Since 1957, the Center has been providing specialized care and therapeutic support to children and young people with physical, neurological, developmental, and other challenges. Each year, more than 100 children and young people receive therapy and personalized support aimed at improving their daily lives, independence, communication, and overall quality of life. The Center also provides substantial support to the children’s families.
Today, the Therapeutic Center is at a particularly important turning point in its history, as its full renovation is underway, with the goal of transforming it into a modern Rehabilitation Center for children. Support for this year’s Race of Love will help strengthen the Center’s services and infrastructure so that even more children and families can access the care and support they need.
A Race for Love That Has Become an Institution of Giving
For the Lexus Cycling Dream Team, the Race of Love is more than just a demanding cycling challenge. It is a collective effort that, year after year, brings together people, organizations, and businesses around a common goal: to transform the power of participation into meaningful help for those who need it.
Preparations for the 2026 Race of Love have already begun, with the team preparing for two days of demanding cycling, driven by a purpose that transcends the boundaries of the route itself.
