Fundraising

This classic ride is organised by the British Heart Foundation but supports a wide range of charities. Charities buy places in the event, then give them to riders who agree to raise money for the charity - these are called 'charity places'. 

Here are some of the many perks of riding for charity

  • Join a social team

    Riding for charity connects you with like-minded people both in the build-up and on the day of the event itself.

  • Get training support

    Put in the miles of training with the support of experts, helping you to hit the start line feeling ready.

  • Ride in style

    You'll be given a technical cycling jersey, kitted out in the branding of your chosen charity, to wear as you ride.

  • Support a great cause

    Whichever charity you ride with, you'll be helped to reach your fundraising target.

Cycling challenges and charity fundraising go hand-in-hand - which charity will you ride for?
