It’s as easy as riding a bike. Isn’t that what they say? But throw in a hill or two, a whole lot of mud and buckets of sweat and it’ll feel a bit more challenging.

You can off road it, ride by night or pick the scenic route. It’s your challenge. And it’s your chance to fight for every heartbeat – all the way to the finish line.

Brighton roCksThis iconic route is the BHF’s

very own flagship event.

And you can now do it by

night or off-road too.

All that ground to cover – all that road, grass or mud, stretched out before you. How long will it take to get you to the finish? How many walls will you have to push through to get there? And how will you feel when it’s all over? Amazing.

Louise Hazel,GB Heptathlete and

BHF Running champion heart disease took my father from me. my running challenge is nothing compared to what he and thousands of others have been through. But it’s my way of fighting back.

Anyone who says walking is easy can take a hike. Challenge yourself to join a trek and you’ll do more than just meander. You’ll see incredible sights and push yourself to the limit and beyond. Every step is part of the fight against heart disease – so make the most of each one, knowing you’re doing something incredible.
