Pedal with purpose in 2026 by commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme with us, as you cycle through history.
In 2026, take part in a powerful four-day ride across the serene landscapes of Northern France – once the front line of one of the First World War’s most pivotal battles. Pedal the Somme isn’t just a cycling event, it’s a meaningful journey of remembrance, reflection, and fundraising, led by an expert historian, with support every kilometre.
As you follow the routes once taken by soldiers over a century ago, you’ll visit preserved trenches, poignant cemeteries, and stirring memorials – each telling the story of courage, sacrifice, and service. It’s a chance to honour those who came before us while making a real difference today.
Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or simply passionate about the cause, this experience is open to anyone ready to take on a challenge with purpose. Every mile you ride and every pound you raise supports the Royal British Legion’s ongoing work for veterans, serving personnel, and their families – from mental health support to emergency assistance and community care.
With full on-the-ground support, shared camaraderie, and a deep sense of meaning, Pedal the Somme is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of something unforgettable.
