London to Brighton Cycle Ride 2026
Join Team Wren for the London to Brighton Cycle Ride on Sunday, 13th September 2026. Whether you are a seasoned cyclist or looking for a meaningful new challenge, this 55-mile journey is the perfect way to make a difference while pushing your own boundaries.
The ride begins at Clapham Common and takes you through the beautiful English countryside. The highlight of the route is the legendary Ditchling Beacon—a challenging one-mile climb that rewards you with breath-taking views of the South Downs before a triumphant downhill stretch toward the finish line on the Brighton seafront.
Getting involved is about more than just the miles; it’s about the community, and the vital funds we can raise together to support people living with autoimmune disease.

From bake-sales to bingo nights, bike rides to basketball games, whatever you decide we will support you along the way.
If you are stuck for ideas, consider what activities you enjoy doing. Would you prefer to do something on your own or as a part of a team? Would your friends and family support or sponsor you? Next, make a plan - how much do you want to raise? What tasks need to be done? What deadlines do you need to set? Do you need permission from anyone? Then, think about how you might advertise your activity: social media, via email to friends and family - you might even contact your local newspaper.

Your wellbeing and safety is extremely important to us. Please follow all health and safety regulations when organising and holding your event. We are very grateful that you are fundraising for those most in need but we are unable to accept any responsibility for your event or anyone who participates in it.
We advise all fundraisers to seek advice regarding public liability for any event involving the general public. If you think you might need a licence we ask that you seek clarification from your local council. If your event will collect cash please be aware that the legal minimum age for the public collection of money is 18 in London and 16 elsewhere.
Please do not collect any money door to door on behalf of the Wren Project since this requires a special licence.
