The Jo Cox Way 2026

The Jo Cox Way 2026 invites cyclists from across England to join a unique and inspiring five-day journey that honors the legacy of former MP Jo Cox. Celebrating its eleventh year, this ride covers an impressive 295 miles from West Yorkshire to London, weaving through picturesque landscapes and bustling cities while fostering community spirit.
Starting in Batley and Spen—Jo's constituency—the route takes riders through the rolling hills of Yorkshire and the Peak District before winding down quieter lanes across England. Each day features approximately 60 to 70 miles, with the final stretch being a leisurely 31-mile ride into London’s heart, passing iconic landmarks like Buckingham Palace and Parliament.
Participants wear special jerseys emblazoned with "More in Common," reflecting Jo Cox's belief that unity surpasses division. The event is designed for riders of varying abilities, ensuring everyone can enjoy the journey at their own pace under the guidance of experienced cyclists leading small groups. Support vehicles are on hand to provide mechanical assistance and ensure a smooth ride.
Accommodation includes four nights with breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided each day, along with luggage transport between stops. Cyclists also receive high-quality cycling jerseys, snacks, water, and comprehensive support from the team throughout the journey.
Registration fees cover all these amenities at £450, with an initial deposit of £80 securing a spot. Payments can be made in monthly installments up to March 1st, after which deposits are non-refundable due to accommodation commitments.
Riders are encouraged to raise funds for The Jo Cox Foundation, aiming for the suggested target of £450 through their personal donation pages available on the event website.
