Seagull Challenge 200

About the Event

Embark on an epic 200-kilometer cycling adventure through the breathtaking landscapes of Southern England with the Seagull Challenge. This isn't just any ride; it's a journey for cyclists who seek to explore and challenge themselves, all while enjoying the freedom that comes from being out in nature.
Set your wheels rolling at 8:00 AM on September 12, 2026, when you'll start from the Lewisham Polish Centre located at 8 Waldram Park Rd, London SE23 2PN. The day promises to be filled with scenic routes and stunning vistas as you pedal your way through charming villages and along iconic coastal cliffs.
One of the highlights of this ride is reaching the Seven Sisters Cliffs, a must-see natural wonder that will leave you in awe. A checkpoint at Birling Gap serves as both a milestone on your journey and an opportunity to take in the beauty around you before continuing onward toward the finish line.
Upon completing the 14-hour time limit challenge, return to where it all began—Lewisham Polish Centre—for a well-deserved celebration with hot BBQ treats awaiting you. The event organizers also offer morning refreshments at the start location to ensure that every rider is fueled and ready for their adventure ahead.
A unique finisher medal will be awarded to each participant who crosses the line, celebrating your achievement in style. Additionally, there's an exclusive "Spirit of the Seagull" award given out to one cyclist whose resilience and positive attitude stand out among all competitors.
All participants receive a detailed route map provided as a downloadable GPX file for their navigation devices. This self-sufficient journey means you'll need to be prepared with your own supplies, ensuring this is an experience that tests both physical endurance and mental fortitude alike.
Entry into the Seagull Challenge costs £50, offering access not only to beautiful scenery but also to a vibrant community of like-minded cyclists who share in the passion for exploration by bike. Follow along on Instagram at @seagullchallenge for updates and insights leading up to race day.
