Hit the Downs MTB is back for 2021!

Join the St B’s mountain bike team at Adur Recreational Ground, Shoreham-by-Sea, on Sunday 11 July 2021 as you take on a socially distanced mountain bike challenge.

You’ll be riding across the beautiful South Downs whilst helping local patients and their families live life as fully as possible, for the time they have left together.

Blaze the trails this summer and take on the best killer climbs and swooping descents that the South Downs has to offer.

With a fully signed route, refreshment stops and mechanical support, as well as marshals and first aid to keep you safe, this professionally organised mountain bike event has everything you need to cross the finish line safely and in style. Not forgetting your all-important medal!

Whether you’re taking part in memory of a loved one, getting a group of mates or work colleagues together for a bit of fun, or taking on a personal challenge, we want to see you on Sunday 11 July for a fantastic day out in the saddle.

Your support

Thanks to support from MTB heads like you, St Barnabas can be there for local people with serious illnesses who rely on our expert care.

You can help ensure they’re looked after in the peace and tranquillity of the hospice. Or, if they wish, be cared for in the comfort of their own homes.

You’ll also enable us to support their families for years to come, with bereavement counselling and opportunities to remember loved ones. Thank you.

We can’t wait to see you at Hit the Downs 2021!
