We're taking on Race the Sun Cheddar Gorge for Action Medical Research

Louise Hewitt is raising money for Action Medical Research

Race the Sun Cheddar Gorge 2026 · 11 July 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Teams of four or two will be setting off at sunrise on this Triathlon-style adventure challenge aiming to finish before the sun sets! Teams will cycle, hike, and canoe with views of the breathtaking Cheddar Gorge.

Story

Last August we were strangers who'd all had the same the same idea to canoe across Scotland from Fort William to Inverness. 100 km later we left as friends.

This year we're getting the band back together for something even more epic. In July we will be setting off at sunrise to bike, hike and paddle 45 miles around Cheddar Gorge, in a race against the sun.

Can we remember how to canoe? Can we cycle up hills that steep? Sponsor us to find out!

All the money we raise is for the children's charity, Action Medical Research. They have spent over 70 years funding vital research to help defeat the diseases that devastate the lives of sick and disabled babies, children, and young people.

By supporting our team you will be helping to find ways to reduce premature birth, to support children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and to develop cutting-edge therapies for rare and incurable diseases.Thank you so much for your support.
