How does Bike to Wolves work?

The ultimate away-day challenge is commencing bright and early on the 10th May, 2024 where riders will travel 111 miles up through the Oxford countryside before stopping off for the night in a hotel in Warwickshire.

The next morning, riders will complete the remaining 49 miles to the Molineux – with enough time for a shower, lunch and a drink before Palace’s final away game of the season.

Riders can choose between the Challenge and Ultra ride options, where Challenge riders will be offered a minibus boost to the first refreshment stop on day one and two.

A coach will be organised to take riders from the Molineux back to Selhurst Park after the game, as well as their bikes.

To take part, each cyclist must pledge to raise a minimum of £500 for Palace for Life Foundation, helping to support their work with young south Londoners and to aspire to give them brighter futures.

The registration fee for the event is £150 and includes:

1-night hotel accommodation
A bespoke Palace themed cycling jersey
2x breakfast, 1x lunch and 1x dinner
1x free match ticket in the away end
Professional support throughout the cycle
Fundraising support & resources
Transport back from Molineux Stadium to Selhurst Park

What's happened in previous years?

Through their fundraising efforts, 2023's determined group raised an incredible £43,000 through Bike to Villa!

In 2022, a group of over 30 Palace fans cycled over 100 miles and raised £34,000 for the Foundation by completing Bike to Southampton.

The 2020 Bournemouth edition, meanwhile, raised more than £15,000 – despite the match itself being postponed!

You can watch highlights from Bike to Villa above.

Not only is the ride an incredible physical feat, Bike to Wolves will be a great way to connect with likeminded Palace fans, watch the Eagles in action, and most importantly, raise funds for young south Londoners.

The money you raise will go towards three key areas of the Foundation's work:

Keeping more young people away from knife crime, violence and anti-social behaviour
Helping more young people find career & job opportunities
Supporting more young people with their mental & physical health
