Coast to Coast Charity Cycle Ride

Get involved

Join Team Solving Kids’ Cancer UK on an unforgettable journey across England. Take on the famous C2C ride from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, cycling 138 miles (approximately 3450m of climbing) through some of the UK’s most stunning and varied landscapes—all in support of children affected by the aggressive childhood cancer, neuroblastoma.  

Starting in the historic harbour town of  Whitehaven, the route winds through the dramatic Lake District including Whinlatter pass, the rolling hills of the Pennines including Hartside pass, and the peaceful countryside of County Durham following quiet railway cycle paths, before finishing triumphantly in Tynemouth.   

We are looking for experienced cyclists who are ready to take on the challenge and smash the fundraising target to help support children and families affected by neuroblastoma, and to help us fund life-saving research.
