We are still finalising the costs for the 2025 event. However, please refer to the information below for the 2024 cost details, understanding that there might be slight increase in price.

All participants pay a £150 registration fee. Participants then choose between payment Option 1 and Option 2.

Option 1 - Minimum Sponsorship 

You only pay a £150 registration fee but commit to raising a minimum of £1,250. We ask that you raise 80% of the £1,250 target by Monday, 25th March 2024, ten weeks before the challenge. This ensures that your tour costs can be covered. If you are unsure that you will be able to achieve this, please note that you can change payment options before this date.

Option 2- Self-Funding  

You pay a £150 registration fee, plus £600 for the balance of your travel cost, your fundraising target will be £650. Travel payment will be organised by our event organisers Classic Challenge. You will be sent an invoice late March and full travel payment will be due by Friday, 5th April 2024. Please aim to reach your £650 fundraising target before departure. 

This four-day package includes return transport from London, three-nights’ accommodation, all meals, including a pasta party the night before and full medical and event support.

The trip departs from London Victoria at 06:15 on the 5 June and returns at 18:00 on the 8 June. Participants will have to arrange their own transport to the pickup and drop off location in London Victoria.

You will be staying in static cabins located in a campsite.

All participants will be sharing a cabin with two other people - one double room, one twin room. There will be limited accomodation with fewer people available upon request, there will be a supplement for this option.

Yes – the more the merrier! Please let us know if you are taking part with friends or family so we can organise accommodation accordingly.

Participants must be over the age of 16 to take part. All participants who are under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian or parent.

If the event is unable to go ahead due to Government restrictions, participants will receive a refund of their registration fee and any travel payments made. Alternatively, they can choose to roll over their place to a future event.

Please refer to the 2024 fundraising minimums for reference. It's worth noting that there might be a slight increase in these figures for the 2025 event.
