Saddle up and get ready to pedal our longest cycling challenge, from the doors of St Peter's Hospice to the majestic city centre of Paris. Four days, over 400km, and all to raise funds for Hospice care.

Last May, a team of over 50 supporters pedalled from the doors of St Peter's Hospice to the majestic city centre of Paris. It was the most incredible experience, raising a huge total to support patient care.

Now it's your turn! Make 2025 the year you do something incredible. Sign up now, or register your interest for more information on the Bristol to Paris 2025 challenge.

Bristol to Paris cyclist

Starting in Bristol, you'll pedal your way through England's countryside lanes, take a ferry over the channel, and pedal across scenic France before finishing in Paris at the Arc de Triomph and iconic Eiffel Tower. It's going to be an incredible moment of achievement.

With both cycling enthusiasts and a few new to the saddle, this challenging ride will be a bucket-list worthy cycle for the whole team to take on with everyone pedalling for the same cause, directly impacting the lives of patients facing the hardest of times with the money you raise.

Costs and Fundraising

It costs £250 to register, which is split into two payments, and all participants will be raising a minimum of £1,750 to support the work of the Hospice. This amount could fund around 50 hours of care for a Hospice patient.

You'll need to raise 80% of the total (£1,400) by June 2025 to have your place confirmed, and the full total must be raised by the end of October 2025. But don't worry, our team are here to support you every step of the way with your fundraising.

The brilliant total you raise and donate will support people in the Bristol area to get the Hospice care they deserve at the end of their lives. Every member of the team completing this challenge will be doing it for St Peter's Hospice.

From our 2024 cyclists...

"Fantastic experience all round. I genuinely can't believe I took part in something which gave me so much whilst benefitting the Hospice at the same time. I have gained new friends for life, a whole new hobby and achieved something which a year ago I would never have thought I was capable of. To top it all fantastic memories to cherish."

"It was an amazing adventure! I'm so glad I did it and it exceeded expectations."

"It was by far the best charity event I have ever participated in."
