London to Brighton Off-road at Night Event

You’ve probably heard of our London to Brighton Off-road event, which we've organised with the British Heart Foundation for the past 15 years!

Well now we've just upped the ante; tweaked the route and are tackling it through the night! The event went down a storm in 2021 and were made to promise we'd do it again. So here it is, the same again, but bigger and better and breakfast included at the end too.

It's not a race, it's a fun and social ride, offering the support and opportunity to attempt a unique adventure and experience that will live long in your memories. Perhaps it may even provide the challenge and structure for you to raise some money for a charity of your choice.  

The route is fully signed and we have support staff, vehicles, riders, first aiders and mechanics, as well as checkpoints along the route with free refreshments with hot drinks and food, a cafe breakfast at the end and free parking at the start.

E-bikes are very welcome but remember it's a 100km ride! If you carry your charger, you should be able to give the battery a quick 30min charge at the halfway point (only)!  

Stats: 95km with 1,225 metres of climbing

Start: Elmbridge Xcel Sports Hub, Walton-on-Thames, KT12 2JG    

Finish: Rockwater, Hove, BN3 4FA

Terrain: A mix of dirt, gravel, tarmac, roots, sand, stone and grass. Some roots and rough tracks along the way, so best suited to a hardtail MTB, although it is still very doable on a gravel bike.

This is not a race – it’s a social ride and adventure; a bit of fun and challenge to enjoy with like-minded riders. This will be a relatively small and intimate event with rider numbers capped and of course be subject to covid restrictions at the time.
