Join us on Ride the Route 2023 to raise money for vulnerable children
In 2022, ‘Ride the Route’ was set up as a challenge to raise money for Railway Children – a charity that supports young people in the UK, India, and Africa. They provide protection and opportunity for children with nowhere else to go and nobody to turn to. Now we are looking forward to our 2nd year of hosting this exceptional event!
On 7-9 September 2023 we will be taking to the road again to support Railway Children, this time cycling from Edinburgh to York. The 420km ride is split into 3 stages, riding 6-8 hours a day, and anyone of any ability is welcome to join. Registrations are still open for this event and you can sign up for either a single day, or the full 3-day event as a team or an individual:
- Registration fee: £100 full event or relay team / £50 one day stage
- Personal fund raising target: £500 full event or relay team / £200 one day stage
If you want to build relationships and strengthen bonds across railway organisations, we have found that cycling hundreds of miles through hills and valleys in the wind and the rain is a great way to do it!
How do I get involved?
Sign up on the Railway Children website here or email ridetheroute@railwaychildren.org.uk for more information and to secure your place.
Or if you want to support the event in other ways, like fixing bikes in one of our support vehicles or providing water on the route, please get in touch.
