Race from the Base 2024

Join the Thrill of the Race from the Base: Ultra-Cycling Challenge!

Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping adventure with Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance's ultra-cycling challenge! Race from the Base is not just a cycling event - it's a life-saving mission. Every pedal stroke you take will help to raise awareness and funds for your local air ambulance service, supporting critically ill or injured patients.

Taking place on Saturday 7th September, the event has three different distances to choose from. All routes will start and finish at Henstridge Airfield, the home of Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.

Choose your challenge:

• 30km (The Circuit): Perfect for beginners or a quick ride
• 60km (The Cruise): A balanced challenge for intermediate cyclists
• 100km (The Climb): For experienced cyclists an ultimate test of endurance and stamina
