About the Event

Embark on the legendary London to Brighton Cycle Ride on Sunday, 13 September 2026, for a classic 55-mile challenge from the heart of the capital to the iconic seafront. This famous route escapes the city onto quiet country lanes through Surrey and Sussex, offering a scenic and achievable goal for cyclists of all levels. The ultimate test is the celebrated climb up Ditchling Beacon, a tough mile-long ascent rewarded with breathtaking South Downs views before the triumphant downhill freewheel to Brighton. More than just a personal achievement, it's a massive charity fundraising event, with partners like Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity and Alzheimer's Society, allowing your pedaling to power vital causes. With professional organization, support stops, and an unforgettable party atmosphere at the finish, it's the perfect day out for solo riders, friends, and corporate teams seeking a rewarding and iconic British cycling experience. Book your place early for a spot in one of the UK's most beloved mass participation rides.
