We’re delighted to announce that Auctus Management Group and RSS Infrastructure will once again be taking on the Royal British Legion’s Pedal to Paris — and Pedal to Paris 2026 is one to remember.
September 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of one of the UK’s most iconic charity cycling events. From 3 to 7 September, our team will set off from London Biggin Hill and ride the full 460km route to Paris, finishing at the Arc de Triomphe in one of only two civilian events in the world to be granted rolling road closures there. Four days. Two countries. One unforgettable finish.
Eight years and counting
We first took on Pedal to Paris in 2018, and it has become one of the most important things we do as organisations. As proud holders of the Armed Forces Gold Covenant Award, our commitment to veterans and ex-forces personnel runs deep — helping them build careers in the rail, civils, and infrastructure sectors in partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence. Pedal to Paris is how we put that commitment on the road, quite literally.
Over the years, our riders have raised over £84,000 for The Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal — funding the welfare, recovery, and employment support that makes a real difference to Armed Forces families across the UK. In 2026, we’re determined to add to that.
Sean Harrison, who has led the team effort since the beginning, said:
“Eight years in and this ride still means everything. The 30th anniversary makes 2026 feel like a landmark moment — for the RBL, for everyone who has ever taken part, and for the cause itself. I’m incredibly proud that Auctus and RSS Infrastructure have been part of this for so long, and I can’t wait to get back on that bike.
Richard Toy, CEO of Auctus Management Group, added:
“Pedal to Paris reflects something fundamental about who we are as a business — a genuine, long-term commitment to the people who served our country. Year after year, our team gets on their bikes and our partners get behind them. That says everything about the kind of community we’re proud to be part of.”
Pedal to Paris 2026 Cycling Jersey
The jersey returns — and we want you on it
Each year, we create a bespoke team cycling jersey that features the logos of the sponsors and partners who back us. It’s worn with pride across every mile of the route, seen by fellow riders, event media, television crews, and thousands of spectators along the way.
This year, we are once again calling on our valued partners and suppliers to consider joining us as sponsors. Whether you’ve backed us before or this is your first time, your support puts your brand on the jersey and your contribution where it matters most — directly to The Royal British Legion, with no deductions.
We’ll be sharing full details of sponsorship positions and how to get involved very soon. Watch this space.
