Hop on your bike and get in a spin this April by taking part in the KM Big Bike Ride for Sport Relief.

The renowned charity unveils its annual weekend fundraiser between Friday, March 18 and Sunday, March 20, but you can still raise vital money for people in need across the UK and around the world after those dates.

The Vattenfall-supported ride is now open for booking and is staged at Betteshanger Park, near Deal on Sunday, April 24.

Offering cyclists two routes – a 50K countryside and a 100K coastal – both starting and concluding at Betteshanger, the ride caters to all levels of ability.

All entrants will receive a limited edition medal upon completion, as well as a goody bag and sportive photograph. Refuelling stations providing hydration and sustenance will be located throughout both routes too.

70% of all funds raised will go towards your favourite charities, so life-changing services like Sport Relief can greatly benefit from the challenge day. The remaining 30% will be injected into children’s road safety services and literacy initiatives across Kent, Medway and Bexley.

Lisa Craig, events manager at the KM Charity Team, said: “Sport Relief is the perfect charitable choice for the ride. What better way to raise money for this good cause than getting outside and getting sporty? Organisations like this make a huge difference for many people around the globe, and we hope many people choose to sign up for the ride and raise funds.”
