DSAA’s annual Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge returns on Saturday, 10th of May 2025, and this year the event is extra special as it marks our 25th anniversary of saving lives. 

With places filling fast, now is the time to dust off your bike, rally your friends and sign up for one of the most scenic and rewarding charity rides in the region.

Our iconic event offers two routes to choose from: a 55-mile route from Watchet Harbour in Somerset to West Bay in Dorset, and a shorter family-friendly 11-mile route from The Royal Oak in Drimpton to West Bay.

If you’re not hopping on a bicycle yourself, come out and join us in cheering on the cyclists at the start, along the route, or at the finish line. Whether you're a spectator or a participant, come join in the fun and make this special 25th anniversary Coast to Coast Challenge one to remember!

“This year’s Coast to Coast is more than just a bike ride - it’s a celebration of 25 years of saving lives, and we want you to be a part of this milestone! 

With just over two weeks to go until event day, spaces are filling up for our 14th Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge. It will be another exciting day across the two counties, bringing people together whilst raising much needed funds. Don’t miss out, secure your place today! We can’t wait to see you all.”

With limited spots available, now is the perfect time to secure your place in this exciting challenge. Cyclists can take part as individuals or teams and are encouraged to raise a minimum of £50 in sponsorship.  Every pound helps keep us flying and saving lives, with each mission costing around £3,500.
