Everyone taking part will share a sense of adventure and a desire to help a charity. Whether you take part as an individual or as a team, you’ll experience the incredible team spirit of this joint challenge.
About the challenge
You’ll cycle from London to Paris, spending four days in the saddle and covering about 300 miles.
The journey begins in London, with your route taking you through glorious English countryside as you cycle through Kent to Dover.
Cross the Channel and continue through the rolling green fields of northern France, passing the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme.
A spectacular finish awaits as you reach the home stretch around the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysées. The Eiffel Tower marks the unforgettable finish line.
You’ll be arriving in Paris just as the Tour de France culminates in the capital.
Full details of the route can be found on the Global Adventure Challenges website.
