The bike route is on quiet but open roads; a mix of coastal, suburban, green fields and sleepy villages. The single lap course is relatively flat with only 131m of ascent in total, over the 20km course, with a mix of straights and corners to contend with. This year we anticipate all roads to be open.
Fundraise for Charity
We're proud to be supporting Porchlight and Whitstable RNLI for the 2025 event!
Porchlight is Kent's largest charity supporting people who are homeless and vulnerable. They provide vital services to those with nowhere to go and no one to turn to, including those living on the streets and individuals at risk of losing their home. Last year alone, Porchlight supported over 8,000 individuals and families.
While Porchlight's incredible work continues, their major 50th anniversary milestone has passed.
Anyone raising over £30 will be sent a Porchlight water bottle, and there will be a prize for the highest fundraiser.
Please visit www.porchlight.org.uk to find out more or email events@porchlight.org.uk
200 years is an amazing milestone for the RNLI, but everything they have achieved in that time has only been possible thanks to ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Since the RNLI was formed in 1824, people like you have formed crews and funded the kit and lifeboats to save lives at sea.
