London to Paris Cycle

Event information

Event date: Multiple

Registration fee: £149

Fundraising target: £2,000

Distance: Approx. 300 miles

Cycling from London to Paris is one of the great cycle experiences in Europe. Passing through picturesque Kent countryside, you'll cross the Channel and continue through the small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, knowing you are helping the cause close to your heart will spur you on. The sight of the Eiffel Tower, your finishing point after approximately 300 miles, will evoke a real sense of achievement.

Join Team Beat at the start line and help change the lives of people affected by eating disorders. Our friendly team will be there to support you every step of the way.

If you have personal experience of an eating disorder or current health issues, you should not take part in the London to Paris Cycle if doing so could put your health and wellbeing in jeopardy. Please be aware that as a charity we aim to prioritise our fundraisers’ wellbeing so all applicants will be required to complete a follow-up questionnaire before their place is confirmed. This may also require further steps as part of our safeguarding process which could include sharing concerns with the event organiser's in-house GP for review.

Why cycle for Beat?

Eating disorders are preventable, and recovery is always possible.

Your fundraising will make a huge difference to the lives of those impacted by eating disorders.

Your fundraising will support our Helpline services; anyone who is worried about themselves or a loved one can contact our Helpline, so that no one has to face an eating disorder alone.
