Cycle the Length of Britain for Royal Voluntary Service

Dates: 2-14 June 2026 & 1-13 September 2026

Location: Great Britain

Registration fee: £349

Minimum fundraising: £4,100 (to be achieved 10 weeks before the trek) 

Take on the ultimate UK cycling challenge — from Land’s End to John O’Groats, the furthest possible distance across the British Isles. Spanning over 1,000 miles from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands, this legendary route is a bucket-list adventure for any cyclist — and an unforgettable way to raise vital funds for Royal Voluntary Service.

Starting at the iconic Land’s End, you’ll pedal through Cornwall’s rugged coastlines, conquer the hills of Dartmoor, and ride north along the Welsh border. From there, journey through the Lake District’s rolling landscapes before crossing into Scotland’s lochs and Highlands, finishing triumphantly at John O’Groats on the country’s breathtaking northern tip.

Over 10 incredible days, you’ll cycle through some of the Britain’s most stunning and remote countryside, testing your endurance and determination every mile of the way. It’s a tough challenge — but one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have.

Your efforts will directly support Royal Voluntary Service, helping people and communities in need across Britain live better, connected lives.

Are you ready to ride for a cause and make history on two wheels?
