London to Paris Cycle Challenge 2026

Take on the London to Paris Cycle Challenge 2026 — a 191-mile, three-day ride from the capital to the Eiffel Tower, all in aid of autistic young people with complex needs.

It's a proper challenge, but one that pays you back twice over: in the views along the way, and in the difference you'll be making for the young people at Prior's Court.

The route

Day 1 - Cycle out of London and through the English countryside to Newhaven, where you'll board the overnight ferry to France.
Day 2 - Set off from Dieppe, winding through French villages before finishing the day in Beauvais.
Day 3 - A 62-mile ride into Paris, where you'll celebrate under the Eiffel Tower. What an adventure.

You can read more about the London to Paris Cycle Challenge 2026 - including a detailed route and full details of what's included - on the TFA Events website.
