The North Coast 500 is a route like no other. It takes in some of the best road cycling the UK has to offer, with mountainous terrain, switchbacks, sheer drops, turquoise seas and white sand beaches a-plenty.
And what better way to explore the wild landscape of the north-west Highlands than as part of a challenge? You will feel a huge sense of achievement, pushing yourself to your limits and making lifelong friends, while raising funds for The Cookie Jar Foundation.
The charity provides help and support to both sick children and those in need, whether that be funding, educational or community based work. The funds raised from the cycle challenge will go to the Royal Edinburgh Sick Children's Hospital so every mile you cycle will be doing something worthwhile.
The challenge starts in Inverness on 29 July 2016, and can be completed in one of three ways:
- As a team of 3 splitting the 500 miles
- As an individual cycling a leg of the challenge (over 2 days) – these spaces are first come first serve!
- As an individual who is up for the challenge of covering the full 500 miles (6 days)
Our passionate and experienced guides will support you through climbs and exhilarating downhills, towards a huge achievement as you reach the finish line. We will provide accommodation, food and support vehicles, so all you need to do is turn up with your bags and get ready to cycle!
- What? A cycle relay challenge in aid of The Cookie Jar Foundation, covering more than 500 miles of the best that the North Highlands has to offer. The route runs to and from Inverness, venturing up the West Coast and back via the rugged North Coast. Where? The North Highlands, starting and finishing in Inverness
