Welcome to The Race Against Time
The Race Against Time is a unique endurance challenge. It involves a group of 10-16 cyclists going from Lands End to John O’Groats in just six days – that’s an average of 145 miles a day, and a total of 874 miles in less than a week – to raise funds for a good cause.
To date over £120,000 has been raised for HIV–AIDS projects in South Africa supported by the Bishop Simeon Trust. We have secured corporate sponsorship to cover all the costs of the ride itself, meaning that every penny raised by our cyclists will go directly to the projects in South Africa.
