All participants pay a £170 registration fee. Participants then choose between payment Option 1 and Option 2.

Option 1 - Minimum Sponsorship 

You only pay a £170 registration fee but commit to raising a minimum of £1,400. We ask that you raise 50% of the £1,400 target by Monday, 24th March 2025, 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 £170 registration fee, plus £650 for the balance of your travel cost, your fundraising target will be £750. 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, 4th April 2025. Please aim to reach your £750 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 around 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.

*Please be aware, these are based on 2024 timings and may be adjusted slightly.

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.

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.
