Cycle London to Paris 2026

Challenge yourself and support our Hospital as you cycle from London to Paris in September 2026

Our fundraising adventures challenge you from sign-up to finish line, as you raise vital funds for our hospital charity, cycle with new-found friends, and experience breathtaking scenery on the way. 

Are you ready to take to the saddle in support of the Stars Appeal?

Join fellow cyclists on an unforgettable journey that takes you from our capital city, to the picturesque city of Paris, with the iconic finish line of the Eiffel Tower!

Cycling over 300 miles, across 4 days, you will pass through the rolling hills of the English countryside, onto small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France before arriving in the hustle and bustle of Paris. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, our finishing point, will evoke a real sense of achievement.

Note: Road bikes or e-bikes are suitable for this challenge, and there are facilities to recharge your battery overnight. Please discuss the pros and cons of e-bikes with Discover Adventure, our challenge organisers.
