Making an impact to kids and their families battling blood cancer

Funds raised by The Route  are vital to support children battling blood cancer, with funds raised helping to accelerate the opening of the ATICUS Network – which  will be the world’s first national infrastructure dedicated to paediatric stem-cell transplant trials.

Without The ATICUS Network, there is no coordinated way for children to take part in these vital studies, meaning many are missing out on the latest advances in care.

Each Route rider is connected with an ATICUS Centre, meaning you’ll have the chance to meet the clinical teams and patients you will be making a difference to!

What's Included

When you join The Route team, you'll get the full pro-rider experience from start to finish.

With moto outriders, sports therapists, team bus, training camp and more included in your entry fee, all you need to focus on is turning the pedals!

Entry Fee £4,000
Minimum Fundraising £10,000
