Action Events
At Action Medical Research, we offer some incredible charity events whatever your ambitions, sporting ability or location.
London to Paris
20 - 24 July 2022
Join the peloton to Paris on one of Europe's greatest cycling adventures!
Passing through picturesque Surrey and Sussex countryside, we cross the Channel and continue through the small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower will evoke a real sense of achievement.
Race the Sun Series
Dawn to Dusk Triple Challenge
Are you tough enough to race the sun? Starting at dawn your team of four will cycle, hike and paddle your way around a course surrounded by breath-taking scenery. This challenge is perfect for groups of friends, family or corporate teams.
Ride Series
Seasoned sportive rider, or taking your first steps into cycling? Action’s RIDE Series bike rides are for you.
With cycle routes varying in length from 21 to 124 miles over five events, there is a sportive ride to suit you. From brutal climbs of Yorkshire to the quiet winding lanes in Suffolk, or perhaps even rub shoulders with celebs on Davina McCall’s very own ride through Sussex!

More about Action
Since we began in 1952, Action Medical Research has been funding medical breakthroughs to help save and change the lives of babies and children.
The prospects for finding new cures and treatments is almost within our grasp. Right now we are funding vital research projects with many more ready to go – but we simply can’t fund them all.
With your help, we’re determined to change this and make a real difference to children lives.
