Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance is delighted to announce that online registration is NOW OPEN for this year’s Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge, taking place on Saturday, 10th May 2025.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the life-saving charity, and what better way to celebrate than by making this the best Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge yet!
This milestone event is a celebration of community spirit, stunning scenery, and 25 years of providing critical care to those in need. Designed to be fun and inclusive rather than competitive, the challenge takes cyclists on a memorable journey through some of the most picturesque countryside in Dorset and Somerset.
Choose Your Route:
• 55-Mile Challenge Starting at Watchet Harbour in Somerset at 10:30 am, this route winds through breathtaking back roads, featuring challenging climbs and thrilling descents, before finishing at the stunning seaside resort of West Bay in Dorset.
• 11-Mile Challenge A shorter but equally scenic route starts at the Royal Oak Public House in Drimpton at 2:00 pm, culminating at the same beautiful West Bay finish line.
Both routes include pit stops with refreshments, giving participants the chance to recharge and soak in the camaraderie of the day.
Limited Spaces – Don’t Miss Out!
With only 600 places available, early registration is essential. Whether you ride as an individual or part of a team, this is your opportunity to take part in a unique and rewarding event. The charity is asking anyone who is fortunate enough to gain a place to ask their friends, family and colleagues to support them and raise a minimum amount of £50 in sponsorship.
Alana Hardy, Events Officer at Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance said: “Our Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge has become a firm favourite over the years and we’re so proud to see how it brings people together from all walks of life. Whether you take part as a challenge, in memory of a loved one, or simply to support our charity, you’re helping to make a real difference.
“This year is extra special as we celebrate 25 years of saving lives. We can’t wait to welcome everyone, not just along the route, but also at the finish line in West Bay, where the atmosphere is always electric. Every mission we undertake is funded by you, so every pedal stroke and every pound raised will help us to be there today, tomorrow and for many years to come.”
