LEICESTERSHIRE HISTORIC CHURCHES TRUSTRide+Stride is the foremost annual event enabling you to raise funds for repairs and improvements to historic churches, chapels and meeting houses throughout Leicester and Leicestershire.
Ride+Stride is a sponsored event for cyclists, walkers, joggers, runners, horse-riders and mobility scooter drivers. You can also be sponsored as a welcomer on duty in a church. 50% of sponsorship money goes to the church or chapel chosen by the participant, with the other 50% going to the LeicesterShire Historic Churches Trust which organises the event and uses the funds raised for grants to churches and chapels for repair, restoration and improvement projects.
You plan your own route (which may cross county borders) using the List of Churches and Chapels that are intending to
open on the day. Riders and Striders ask their relations, friends and colleagues to sponsor them - so much for each church or chapel they visit between 10.00am and 6.00pm on the day, or a lump sum. This is recorded on your sponsorship form and you can take part for as long or short a time, within the day, as is convenient for you. The Sponsorship Form will be available from June, and the List of Churches and Chapels will be uploaded during August.
