Ride and Stride

The Surrey Ride and Stride for churches event is run by the Surrey Churches Preservation Trust! Get involved to raise funds for your chosen church. Have a great day out cycling or walking (or in any other way), discover Surrey's heritage and make a real difference. Take as little or as much time as you have available on the day.

The Surrey Churches Preservation Trust is run 100% by volunteers and uses all money raised from Ride & Stride to help repair and conserve Surrey's Christian churches: half of the money you raise goes to your chosen church and the rest is distributed to other places of worship across Surrey via conservation grants. 

Four routes are proposed, all of which offer interesting routes, visiting some of the most historic religious buildings in the county.
