The Bikeathon is a 24-hour fundraising challenge where participants ride static bikes in hourly slots to raise money for Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care. There are 4 bikes available per hour, and you can take part as an individual or as part of a team. Each hour aims to raise enough to fund 24 hours of care from a dedicated healthcare assistant. You can book one slot or multiple if you’re up for a bigger challenge – every pedal counts!
