Take on one of the UK's ultimate cycling challenges and ride almost 1,000 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats while raising vital funds for Terrence Higgins Trust.
Covering almost 1,000 miles from the south-west tip of England to the northernmost point of mainland Scotland, this iconic ride will test your determination, resilience and endurance.
Whether you complete the journey over several days or as part of an organised event, every mile ridden and every pound raised will help support people living with and affected by HIV.
By fundraising for Terrence Higgins Trust, you'll help fund life-changing services including HIV testing, advice and information, peer support, counselling, and campaigns to end HIV stigma. Together, we can work towards a future with no new HIV cases in the UK and ensure everyone living with HIV gets the support they need to thrive.
This is a fully-supported event, run by Discover Adventure.
