Corsica Cycle Challenge - September 2026

Event dates: Friday 25th September – Tuesday 29th September

OBEX Foundation Corsica Cycle Challenge 2026
Friday 25 September to Tuesday 29 September 2026
This September, 27 members of the OBEX Foundation team will take on an extraordinary cycling challenge across Sardinia and Corsica.
Over three demanding days, we will cycle approximately 350 kilometres and tackle more than 5,000 metres of climbing.
The challenge has been organised by the Jason Robinson Foundation, whose team is coordinating the route, travel and event logistics.

The OBEX team is taking part with one clear goal: to raise £75,000 for OBEX Foundation and deepen our support within the local schools and communities where we already have trusted relationships.
 
Since 2023, OBEX Foundation has supported more than 1,700 children and engaged 22 schools across Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. Working with schools, volunteers and specialist delivery partners, we have funded mentoring, sport, swimming lessons, food, equipment and opportunities that many children would not otherwise experience. We have connected families with specialist services and helped young people who had been excluded from school re-engage with education.
Our next step is to build on these foundations. 
 
The money raised through the Corsica Cycle Challenge will help fund:

• The Jason Robinson Foundation school programme within the schools supported by OBEX Foundation, providing children with access to sport, coaching, mentoring and positive role models.

• Volunteer-led support in schools, including reading, wellbeing, special educational needs and practical help shaped by each school.

• Our developing transition work, supporting vulnerable children as they move from primary to secondary education.

• Breakfast, after-school and holiday provision designed to improve attendance, widen access to opportunities and provide greater stability beyond the classroom.

• Every person working within OBEX Foundation, including our trustees, gives their time voluntarily. This means that 100% of the money we raise is invested directly into programmes for children and young people.

 The ride will test every member of the team. However, every kilometre and every climb will contribute to practical support for children across our local communities.
Please support the OBEX Foundation team and help us reach our £75,000 target.
Together, we can build stronger relationships with our schools and brighter futures for their children.
