Cycle 274 Miles in August 2025

Get ready for the ride of your life and saddle up to help find a cure for brain tumours.

Our summer challenge, Cycle 274 Miles in August, is back! Simply commit to covering 274 miles by bicycle over the course of the month, while raising vital funds for research, plus awareness of the desperate inadequacies that currently exist in the fight to find a cure.

You can take part wherever you live, and make the miles fit around your lifestyle. It’s your challenge, your way.

Our ambitious target breaks down to 8.8 miles a day or 61 miles a week, so there are plenty of ways to hit that 274-mile target. You could…

Make those light, bright summer evenings count and wind down with an after-work cycle

Make the weekend matter and head out for a long, out-and-back cycle to a pretty picnic spot

Swap your sofa for the saddle and add some additional miles on a static bike in front of the TV

You can team up with a friend and split the distance between you throughout the month – cycle 137 miles each to halve the distance while doubling the fun. Or take on the challenge as a family to make your individual target even less. Remember, it’s the taking part that counts, and you can adapt the challenge to suit you, if you find you can’t manage the total mileage.

When you register and create your fundraiser, we’ll send your FREE cycling jersey and printed tracker, plus a fundraising pack filled with resources to help make your challenge a success.

When your donations hit £50, you’ll also get a FREE water bottle.

Plus, raise £137 or more to get a special medal. We’re asking you to try to raise £137 because this represents 5% of the cost of a day’s research at a Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence.
