Sponsorship Teams will be made up of ‘extra’ ordinary people, rising to a physical challenge and raising money for Charity through personal and corporate sponsorship. All that is required is the legs and stamina to ride your share of 500 miles and the commitment to raise a minimum of £1,000 for Charity, half of which can be donated to Charities of the team’s choice, with the remaining half going to Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and NHS Charities Together. |

Entry fee The entry fee (£1,400.00) is for a team of 4 and covers the outbound ferry with cabin, 3 nights half board accommodation in France and the support of our band of Marshalls. Teams will travel in their own support vehicle and typically ride on road racing bikes.
