Walk towards a future free from arthritis
Location: Start in London
Date: Various dates in 2027 and 2028
Registration fee: £149.00
Minimum sponsorship target: Up to £2,100
Cycling from London to Paris is one of the great cycle experiences in Europe. Passing through picturesque Kent countryside, we cross the Channel and continue through the small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France.
With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, our finishing point, will evoke a real sense of achievement. After our pedal to Paris, our last day allows us to explore the sights and soak up the romantic atmosphere of this majestic city!
This challenge is grade yellow. A good entry-level grade, perfect for first challenges. As the level increases, expect more challenging distances and some tougher terrain. Trips with camp or dorm-style accommodation are graded harder than those with hotels.
