Action End2End

Land’s End and John o’ Groats are the most distant two points on the British mainland with 1,000 miles of challenging cycling separating them. Have you got what it takes to go the distance?

We have favourable offers for team and individual rider entries. Please call Oly on 01403 327443 for special discounts 

Starting at the most south-westerly tip of England, our route takes you through some of the most beautiful and remote British countryside. We will pedal our way through stunning counties such as Cornwall and Devon, head north along the Welsh border before skirting the Lake District into Scotland. Here we will pass picturesque lochs crossing the highlands before hitting the most northern point of Britain, John o’ Groats.

The Action End2End route is designed by cyclists, for cyclists. It combines the best that British cycling has to offer in terms of roads, scenery and landmarks with unparalleled rider support. Over ten days' cycling we cover an average daily mileage of 100 miles. The ride will take place from 16 to 26 August, finishing on the bank holiday Monday.

To take part in this event we ask for a non-refundable registration fee of £199 and your commitment to raising a minimum of £3,000 to help fund vital research for sick babies and children.

“I’m still eating like a man possessed. Still buzzing! My wife is getting sick of me rabbitting on about it and it will take many months until normality is restored if ever!Thanks to all of you for the best time and an experience of a lifetime, I will return on another event in another place” – Howard Cross, End2End 2012
