About this Event
Welcome to BIKE & HIKE – home of the SkegVegas100 and the ‘Amble to Ashbourne’ 26 or 13 Mile Walk
Now firmly established as a highlight of the fundraising calendar, BIKE & HIKE brings you two fantastic charity challenges – all in support of Derby Children’s Holiday Centre and Derby Kids Camp.
Take on the iconic 100-mile SkegVegas charity bike ride from Derby to Skegness, or join the ‘Amble to Ashbourne’ – now available as either a full 26-mile walk or a new 13-mile option. Both follow the famous Bonnie Prince Charlie route (in reverse), starting in Derby and winding through the stunning Derbyshire countryside toward Ashbourne.
The new 13-mile Amble opens the event to an even wider audience – perfect for those who want the atmosphere, challenge, and fundraising impact of the day without committing to the full 26 miles. Walkers on the 13-mile route finish at the lunch stop and return to Derby by coach, while the 26-mile walkers continue on to Ashbourne.
Get ready to pedal or hike through breathtaking landscapes and coastal views – all for a great cause. Both events start from Derby Arena, Pride Park Stadium between 6:30 and 7:30am on Saturday 22nd May 2027, with finishes at either the Derby Children’s Holiday Centre in Skegness or the picturesque market town of Ashbourne.
Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist, keen walker, or simply looking for a rewarding challenge with friends, there’s an event for you. Choose your distance, lace up your boots or hop on your bike, and help raise vital funds for two incredible causes.
Your entry fee includes:
- A donation to Derby Children’s Holiday Centre & Derby Kids Camp
- Lunch
- Snacks & drinks at stops
- A limited-edition Cosy Bike & Hike souvenir T-shirt (collectors’ item)
- Return transport from both destinations
