Double Downs

The South Downs National Park will play host to Walking With The Wounded’s latest adrenaline-fuelled challenge on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd September 2018: The Double Downs.                             

The two-day, 100 mile cycling challenge promises to be a truly spectacular event as cyclists take on the famous chalk hills from Winchester to Arundel alongside inspirational wounded servicemen and women - including some who have been part of the charity’s expedition teams to the North Pole, South Pole and Everest.                              

Riders taking on the Double Downs challenge will raise funds to support the UK’s most at-risk veterans, suffering from physical, mental and social challenges, to reintegrate into society and lead productive and fulfilling lives.
