What is the London to Brighton Cycle Ride?

The London to Brighton Cycle Ride, is an iconic 55 mile cycle ride starting from Clapham Common in South London, finishing on Brighton Seafront. The event is open to all abilities although we recommend training ahead of the challenge so you enjoy the day. You can ride for one of our amazing charity partners, a charity of your choice or just for yourself with no need to raise any sponsorship.

How much is it?

It is £55 per person to take part. This includes a fully supported ride, complimentary water stops and not to mention that we’ll be waiting with your medal at the finish on the sea front in Brighton!

Raising funds

We are asking each rider to aim to raise at least £150. All donations will go to the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in Great Britain & Ireland. 

This is not just a sporting challenge; it is a public statement of our values – aiming high, teamwork, resilience, and an unshakable drive to deliver better patient outcomes. Your support – whether through donation, support or advocacy– will help turn our vision into action. Together, we can ride further, achieve more, and make a lasting difference.
