18th-22nd SEPTEMBER 2025
A 500 mile sponsored cycle relay across 3 days!
We’re off to the three nations border triangle of France, Germany and Switzerland (with Luxembourg an added bonus) – echoing ourfirst Challenge in 2003.
Extra Mile Challengesorganises everything: Channel crossings, hotels, meals (including our fabulous end-ofChallenge gala dinner) and arrowed cycle routes around the historic Jura Mountain region. Our experienced course marshals arethere to keep you safe and on track.
Day 1 – Friday 19th September
A loop from our Metz hotel base broadly north-east through France, Luxembourg and Germany. We cross the river Moselle four times including a stunning 2-mile descent through vineyards to the bridge at Piesport.
Day 2 – Saturday 20th September
Today we transit south through France to our second base at Mulhouse. Our route includes the amazing 28-mile Routes des Crêtes (Google it!) – a ridge road at high altitude in the Vosges. We plan a “scatter” dinner on Saturday at Mulhouse for an opportunity to see the sights and hostelries of the city.
Day 3 – Sunday 21st September
Today we loop clockwise from our hotel through Germany, Switzerland and France. This is broadly a large ring around Basel crossing the river Rhine twice. In total we will have experienced cycling in four very different countries, truly excellent. One similarity though is that they all have a number of climbs (and descents)!
Sunday evening will be our grand gala dinner celebrating another successful Extra Mile Challenge and the wonderful fundraising carried out.
