Ride the Night London 2027
Ride the night returns for 2027
There’s something special about cycling through London after dark.
On Saturday 8 May 2027, thousands of riders will come together for an unforgettable night in London in support of Breast Cancer Now, the UK’s leading breast cancer research and support charity.
As the city lights up and the roads grow quieter, you’ll cycle past some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks alongside a community united by a common cause: supporting people affected by women’s cancers.
Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or looking for a challenge to train towards, Ride the Night is built for real people. With training support, expert event management and encouragement from fellow riders every step of the way, you’ll have everything you need to get to the finish line.
Since its first event, this incredible community has raised more than £22 million for life-saving research and care.

Choose your ride
Whether you’re taking on 50km or 100km, you’ll experience London in a way few people ever do.
Both routes begin in Windsor and take you through some of the capital’s most iconic locations after dark. Ride through Richmond Park, follow the Thames into the city and cycle past world-famous landmarks illuminated against the night sky.
50km Route
Perfect for first-time challenge cyclists or those looking for a shorter distance, the 50km route takes you from Windsor into central London. You’ll finish in the heart of the capital after crossing Westminster Bridge and passing some of London’s most recognisable sights.
100km Route
Looking for a bigger challenge? The 100km route continues beyond central London, taking in even more of the city’s famous landmarks before looping back to Windsor to complete an unforgettable night in the saddle.
Whichever route you choose, you’ll be supported every mile of the way by marshals, Ride Angels, mechanics, medics and feed stations.
