You will cycle through the tranquility of rural England to Portsmouth, where you will cross the channel by ferry to Ouistreham. The route then winds through peaceful vineyards and quaint villages, where you can sample fine French cuisine before cycling to your final destination, Paris!london_to_paris_finish180x135.jpg


After cycling an impressive 234 miles in 3 days, you’ll enjoy an unrivalled sense of achievement on reaching Paris. Knowing you’ve helped raise much-needed funds to support CARE’s work overseas will make your lap of honour around the aptly-named Arc du Triomphe truly significant.

The minimum fundraising for this London to Paris cycling challenge is £1,300 ($2,500). Your £1,300 ($2,500) could provide 16 CARE community coordinators in Uganda with a bicycle, enabling them to reach remote villages where they run vital savings and loans groups. These groups enable poor communities to lift themselves out of poverty.

We will support you throughout your fundraising, training and general preparation, as well as on the event itself with experienced guides.

We also have some charity walks and hikes. Later this year we have a sponsored walk that is 25 miles long in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of CARE International's UK office. If activities outdoors and adventure weekends get your adrenalin pumping, then why not sign up for one of our mountain challenges?
