Ride to Inspire 2026
Silverstone to Anfield | 13–16 May 2026
Ride to Inspire 2026 is a unique, purpose-driven corporate cycling event, uniting business leaders, teams, and partners to create lasting social impact.
Following the success of last year’s inaugural ride — which raised £30,000 — we’re returning in 2026 with bigger ambition, greater reach, and a bold fundraising target of £100,000.
From the iconic Silverstone Circuit to the legendary Anfield Stadium, Ride to Inspire 2026 combines challenge, connection, and purpose — all in support of the Inspiring Leadership Foundation.
Why Ride to Inspire?
Ride to Inspire exists to fundraise for and raise awareness of the Inspiring Leadership Foundation, a charity dedicated to empowering people from underserved communities to dream big, develop leadership skills, and unlock their full potential.
By partnering with Ride to Inspire, your organisation directly supports life-changing programmes while engaging your people in something truly meaningful.
