How to Take Part in Ride+Stride

More than ever, historic churches need your support!

You can take part as an individual or with a team travelling between churches as part of your local church or maybe with friends from your work. For this please download the Standard Sponsorship Form below.

Some churches and people hold an event rather than travel between churches. If you are doing this please download the Special Event Sponsorship Form below.

In Ride+Stride, Cyclists, Walkers and Horse Riders raise sponsorship money by visiting churches and chapels on any route of their choice – most people will be willing to sponsor you for a ‘set amount’ regardless of the number of places you visit. You can also check our list of churches that will be open on the day.  The money raised (before Gift Aid) will be shared equally between GHCT and the church of your choice.

Just Giving

You will find instructions on the GHCT website at ‘R+S Just Giving Set Up Guide for existing supporters’ or ‘R+S Just Giving Set Up Guide for new supporters
