Cyclopark Century Challenge — Saturday 25 July 2026
100 or 200 Miles. Your Challenge. Two Great Causes.
This July, we're doing something we've never done before. Cyclopark Charity and KIMS Hospital are joining forces to bring you the Cyclopark Century Challenge — a cycling endurance event that will test your legs, lift your spirit, and raise vital funds for two charities that matter right here in Kent.
WHAT IS THE CYCLOPARK CENTURY CHALLENGE?
It's simple. You choose your distance — 100 or 200 miles — and you ride it on Cyclopark's purpose-built, fully traffic-free road circuit in Gravesend. No traffic. No road furniture. Just you, your bike, and the miles ahead.
The 100-mile challenge is around 77 laps. The 200-mile event is 154. Neither are easy - but both are absolutely achievable if you're up for a challenge!
This isn't a race — it's a personal fundraising mission, and a day you won't forget!
Ride solo, or bring a friend and take it on as a pair!
WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
Every rider commits to raising a minimum of £150, and every penny goes to two brilliant Kent charities.
Cyclopark Charity exists to ensure that people facing health inequalities — those who might never otherwise have access to sport and physical activity — can get moving. Through free and discounted programmes, we open the doors of Cyclopark to the people who need it most. When you ride for Cyclopark Charity, you're not just funding a venue. You're funding access to movement.
Holding On Letting Go (HOLG) is KIMS Hospital's nominated charity. Based right here in Kent, HOLG supports bereaved children, young people up to the age of 18, and their families across Kent and South-East London. Through bereavement support weekends, one-to-one support, school outreach, and family resources, they walk alongside families at the hardest moments of their lives. Their support is entirely free to the families they help. They receive no government funding — they exist entirely because of people like you.
