Big Ride for Africa
TBC 2018
Join us on the Big Ride and help give thousands of kids in Africa the future they deserve.
Get on your bike
The Big Ride 2017 was our best ride yet, with 420 riders cycling and running over a collective 80,000 kilometres, climbing over 1 million metres across Cologne and Denver. The riders raised nearly €1.2 million, helping thousands in Africa have a brighter future.
Avid cyclists and runners in Europe climbed over a million metres choosing from one and two day options ranging from 50km to 160km per day. Some swapped a day in the saddle for a day pounding the dirt on the half marathon. It was our hottest ride to date with temperatures reaching 31C!
Watch this space for updates on next year’s Big Ride in 2018.

I can't begin to explain how I feel now that the event has finished. The experience will remain with me for a long time, and I hope I can be apart of the Big Ride for Africa next year."
