Pilgrims Hospices Cycle Challenge
We’re delighted to announce that the Pilgrims Hospices Cycle Challenge is back for 2026, and we can't wait to welcome you to the start line!
After the ride's milestone 15th anniversary success in 2025, the Pilgrims Hospices Cycle Challenge returns for its 16th year. You can join 1,300 fellow cyclists, of all abilities, to explore the beautiful and varied countryside of east Kent alongside friends, family and colleagues. Ride it your way by choosing to ride one of five distances ranging from 30 miles up to 125 miles. With a maximum of 1,400 riders being able to take part in Cycle Challenge, and last year's event selling out, we highly advise early registration (when the event details are released) to avoid disappointment.
Since the very first ride in 2010, over £1.7 million has been raised for the specialist care of those living with an incurable illness in our east Kent community. So challenge yourself this spring by taking on the Pilgrims Hospices Cycle Challenge and achieve something amazing!
