Gravel Route for 2025
After the success of the Gravel Grovel in 2024, it will be back on the the Team Townend agenda for 2025. If you didn't get a chance to try the route last year, come and join us on 13th September to find out what it's all; about! Check out the Courses for more information.
About
In 2010, Christian and Niggy went out for a ride like we all do. But this time, they didn’t come home.
We organised the Team Townend Challenge in their memory, to bring friends, family and cyclists together to raise funds for our chosen charity, RoadPeace, who campaign for road safety and justice for victims of road collisions.
Every pound of over £70,000 raised to date has gone directly to RoadPeace.
​​
In 2025, we will continue to support RoadPeace, but we are also exploring options to support local initiatives. Find out how you can support Team Townend on our Fundraising page.

All routes start at Loweswater Village Hall, Cumbria, CA13 0RU from 9:00am, Saturday 13th September 2025.
