Katharine House’s Cycling Challenge is back with a bang this year! This popular event took a break in 2020 but is now back as the hospice’s second event to be launched this year!
Supporters are being asked to grab their bikes and pedal for pounds to help raise vital funds for care.
The event takes place on Sunday 3 October 2021 and has been carefully designed for all abilities. Starting and finishing at the hospice the event also features a barbecue and all finishers will receive a memento for their efforts.
Whether participants are looking for a serious challenge or a leisurely off road ride there is something for everyone. Prices are £22 maxi (65 miles), £20 midi (45 miles), £15 mini (20 miles) and £10 family (8 miles), with under 16’s free. Although prices increase on the day so participants are encouraged to book early. There will also be food/barbecue available to purchase.
Events Fundraiser Katie Jones said: We are thrilled that the Cycling Challenge is back for 2021! It’s such a popular event in the local calendar, and gives families the chance to enjoy a morning ride together and seasoned riders to go the extra distance – all in support of our vital free care. Everyone who gets on their bike and gets sponsored really helps our care team to support local people living with terminal & life limiting illnesses and their families.
