Story
Over the last decade, over 130 UK Wholesale, Convenience, FMCG and Service Provider executives have cycled across Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, the UK and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and most recently Tanzania, raising over £1.5 million for MAG (Mines Advisory Group) – the Manchester based charity, awarded Co-Laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for its role in the International Campaign to Ban Landmines.
Every day, 15 people are killed or injured by landmines and unexploded bombs. Almost half of casualties are children. MAG’s teams around the world remove these items for good from communities affected by conflict. Every landmine and weapon taken out of the ground is a life saved, an injury prevented, and a community given the chance to rebuild.
The next Bikes Against Bombs challenge, originally scheduled for Sri Lanka in 2026, has been postponed until 2027 due to the ongoing instability in the Middle East and its impact on travel logistics.
Although the date has changed, our commitment to MAG remains as strong as ever. Throughout 2026, the team will continue training, fundraising and preparing to take on the Sri Lanka challenge in January/February 2027.
