Take on the TrekFest challenge, complete 25km or 50km on foot through some of the UK’s most renowned and beautiful national parks – Brecon Beacons, South Wales or Peak District, Derbyshire. Thousands have taken on the TrekFest challenge over the last four years and helped raise well over a £1 million for UK registered charities. TrekFesters tell us its a truly life changing experience to take part in, the sense of achievement you feel crossing the finish line knowing you made every step count by raising funds for charity is indescribable.
London Nightrider will be back for it’s 8th year in 2017! Every year tweaks are made to the route but you can expect as many of the highlights of London as they can fit in, and some little treasures you may not know about. It really is a unique way to explore the capital city.There are 2 routes available – a 100km and a 50km ride. Both are circular and start and finish at the same place, Lee Valley VeloPark. The 50km route will be an inner loop of the 100km route.Full support, back up and regular break stops are provided throughout the night and a well-earned breakfast and medal at the finish. To take part in this amazing event would usually cost £100…all we ask is to raise the minimum of £175 to ride for a bargain price of £39!

As part of registration all participants will receive goody bags with a white t-shirt, dye packs, body art and plenty more to get geared up for the most colourful 5K.
Your cycle challenge…
A 295 mile, 4 day bike ride takes us through the beautiful Kent countryside to Dover, before crossing the Channel to Calais. Our route takes us along quiet French country lanes, through traditional market towns with views of the rolling, green fields of northern France, passing the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme. The pièce de résistance of this cycle challenge will be the final cycle up the Champs Elysées to the Arc de Triomphe, following in the tyre tracks of the cycling greats, before watching them cycle the same route the next day in the finale of the Tour de France!
The Do it for Charity London to Brighton Cycle Ride is a mass-participation cycle ride covering the 54 miles from Clapham Common in London to Madeira Drive on Brighton sea front.

Oxfordshire Recovery College is part of Restore. At the Oxfordshire Recovery College, we believe that learning about our mental health can give us hope for the future, opportunities to make changes, and a larger amount of control over what’s happening to us or our loved ones. Because of this, we provide a wide range of courses all about mental health and wellbeing, and regular one-to-one Individual Learning Plan appointments to help you move forward.
Looking to get fit?
And raise funds for Restore?
We have charity places available for people looking to run Oxford Half Marathon on 7th October 2018. All we ask in return is that you raise over £150 for Restore. We give advice on how to do this, taking into account what suits you and how you wish to promote your run in order to raise as much money as you can. All you need to do is to e-mail fundraising@restore.org.uk and we will arrange for you to receive an email from the organisers registering you as a runner on behalf of Restore.
We also advise you on how best to fund-raise. It’s not as hard as you might think. On one of our recent charity bike rides, our 8 riders raised over £3,000, which is nearly £400 per rider. But if you raise less than that, fine…don’t worry. But we’d love to raise more…
Go for it…we know you want to!
