LAST CHANCE to sign up for Palace for Life's Bike From Arsenal: The 100 Mile Tour!
Palace for Life are looking for Palace fans to take on their next annual cycling challenge, taking riders on a 134-mile ride from North London via rolling countryside to Selhurst Park – all to raise money that directly changes lives in South London.
WHAT IS BIKE FROM ARSENAL: THE 100 MILE TOUR?
Since 2020, Palace fans have taken on our annual away-day cycling challenges, covering more than 620 miles to destinations including Bournemouth (twice), Southampton, Aston Villa and Wolves, raising over £175,000 for us in the process.
We’re now on the hunt for riders of all abilities to take on Bike from Arsenal: The 100 Mile Tour, our sixth cycling challenge which starts in North London through hills back to Selhurst, to help push that total even higher.
2026’s ride is a two-day cycling event between the 23rd and 24th May, taking riders 134 miles from the Emirates Stadium in North London through Hertfordshire, the Chilterns, Berkshire, back through Surrey and into Selhurst Park for Palace’s final game of the season against Arsenal.
Only 30 places include a match ticket. If you already have a season ticket, you’ll need to use that for the game. Package details can be found below or in our FAQs.
WHERE DOES BIKE FROM ARSENAL: THE 100 MILE TOUR GO?
Don’t let the name fool you, we’ll be taking the long way home back to South London!
The ride begins at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and takes on a 134-mile journey through countryside, towns and villages before finishing at Selhurst Park for Palace’s final game of the 2025/26 Premier League season against Arsenal.
Day 1 (100 miles)
- Roll out from the Emirates and head north west through Barnet and into St Albans
- Climb into the Chiltern Hills, passing through Chesham, Wendover, Chinnor Watlington and Woodcote
- Cross the Thames at Pangbourne before looping south of Reading and into Bracknell for a well-earned overnight stop
Day 2 (34 miles)
- Set off again through Ascot, Virginia Water, Chertsey and Walton-on-Thames
- Re-enter London via Kingston, New Malden and Wimbledon
- Ride the final stretch across Mitcham Common and down Whitehorse Lane to complete your journey at Selhurst Park
The cycle is not a race. You can go at your own pace and will be fully supported by our experienced ride leaders.
Riders will be split into smaller groups based on ability, each led by an experienced cyclist who will guide the route, set the pace and keep everyone safe along the way.
