Cycle to Cannes is an annual 6-day 1500km cycling relay endurance event which has to date given in excess of £730,000 to charity. Held in the last throws of winter, the weather can be bitter as we pass through northern France and the vineyards around Reims. It's not uncommon for water bottles to freeze, snow to fall, or for thick fog to surround the peloton for a couple of days.

We are raising money for five core charities: The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, The Sarah Matheson Trust, Article 25, Tom's Trust and Land Aid. We also try and support additional charities when funds are available.

Regardless of whether the cyclists are seasoned roadies or have simply taken up cycling to complete this event - everyone will find this a monumental challenge so please give generously.
