Cheshire Dash 2024

The Cheshire Dash is a friendly annual bike ride that raises money for very special charities. In 2024, we aim to raise £100,000 for children’s palliative care. We’ll be supporting both Together For Short Lives and Claire House. 

“This year the Cheshire Dash will be an enjoyable and challenging opportunity to raise much needed funds for children’s palliative care," says Catriona Marshall, founder of Transforming Lives. 

"Together For Short Lives and Claire House make sure that children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families can make the most of every moment they have together, whether that's for years, months or only hours. Together we can all help them to achieve their vision that every family caring for a seriously ill child has access to the high-quality care and the support they need.''

The Cheshire Dash is a cycling challenge to ride 100 miles in one day. We’ve planned an exciting route through the beautiful Cheshire countryside and will be supported all the way by Bentley Manchester.

• Up to 4 riding groups to suit your preferred pace, with ride captains leading each group.

• First Aid support, a sweeper vehicle and Bentley support vehicles.

• A road bike is essential and riders must be 18 or over.

• Entry is £60 per person, which is non-refundable. This includes your own Cheshire Dash 2024 cycling jersey to wear during the Dash, food and drink throughout the day, total event support (including First Aid support and Group Ride Captains) and a fabulous goodie bag!

• A training schedule, training rides and lots of encouragement will be provided in the run up to the event.

• Breakfast butties, a picnic lunch, snack stops and a BBQ finish are all included.

• Invite your family and friends to celebrate with you when you reach the finish line and let’s make a day of it!
