Women V Cancer Cycle Kilimanjaro to Coast1st Oct 2026
From:£1,700+ Registration Fee
Summary
Fall in love with Tanzania on this breath-taking bike ride for Women V Cancer. Kicking off at the foot of the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, we’ll cycle through mountains, plains and friendly local towns to the paradise beach in Pangani.
No trip to Tanzania is complete without a spot of wildlife-watching and we’ll get our fix right away at Lake Jipe, home to hippos and crocodiles, with a visiting herd of zebras. This sets us up to keep our eyes peeled every pedal of our 431km challenge. If we’re lucky, we could spot elephants, wildebeests, gazelles and more!
The animals aren’t the only thing to get excited about. Tough climbs lead to extraordinary vistas, with jagged cliffs, swooping valleys and a patchwork of lush grassland, topped with endorphins and a heart-warming sense of achievement.
We finish our adventure at the postcard-perfect beach town of Pangani, whose white-sand bays and gentle blue shores offer a joyous reward for our legs! And the best part? It’s all for Women V Cancer and our partner charities Breast Cancer Now and Ovarian Cancer Action.

Day by Day Itinerary
UK – Tanzania
Our 2025 Women V Cancer challenge begins with an overnight flight from London to Tanzania. Touching down in Africa on Day 2, our local ground agent greets us upon our arrival, and we transfer to our hotel in Moshi.
We have some time to get settled and freshen up before our all-important bike fitting. Now confident and comfortable in our saddles, we close the day with a delicious welcome dinner and a briefing from our challenge leader.
Please don’t be! The majority of people will sign up for Women V Cancer Cycle Kilimanjaro to Coast on their own. Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you a link to a private Facebook group for everyone registered. Please use this space to swap questions, advice and updates with your fellow cyclists on your training and fundraising for our charities.
You may also want to reach out to your fellow participants in this group to see if there’s anyone in your local area you can meet up to train with.
