London to Brighton Cycle Ride 2026

Sunday 13 September 2026 | 55 miles | London to Brighton

This September, a team of incredible riders will be taking on one of the UK's most iconic cycling challenges — the London to Brighton Cycle Ride — while riding and fundraising for east to west.

Starting at Clapham Common, our riders will take on a challenging 55-mile journey through London's suburbs and the beautiful English countryside, before tackling the famous Ditchling Beacon and completing their ride on Brighton seafront.

Riding for young lives

Every mile our riders complete and every pound they raise will help east to west bring hope to young lives.

Our work supports children, young people and families across our communities, providing relational, emotional and wellbeing support when it is needed most. Fundraising through events like the London to Brighton Cycle Ride helps us continue reaching young people and making a lasting difference.

Your support can help turn every mile into hope.

Meet the east to west riders

Our riders are taking on this challenge for more than just the finish line. They are riding to raise awareness, raise funds and help east to west continue supporting young people in our schools, communities and wider services.

Whether they are experienced cyclists or taking on a challenge like this for the first time, we are incredibly proud of everyone riding for east to west.

Good luck to the whole team — we will be cheering you on every mile of the way!
