About Palace to Palace

Ride with us on the 5 of October 2025 from Buckingham Palace, through the rolling Surrey countryside, down The Long Walk, past the iconic Windsor Castle to your photo-finish moment at Windsor Racecourse, and fundraise to help young people create a better future for themselves.

Choose from either the Classic, 45-mile route, or the Ultra, 90-mile route. Whether you’re an experienced rider or taking on your first cycling event, there’s something for everyone. 

Get your friends and family involved and meet up and celebrate together at the Finish Festival, enjoying live music, entertainment, and some delicious food from one of our great vendors.

About The King's Trust

The King’s Trust believes that every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter what their background or the challenges they are facing. We help those from disadvantaged communities and those facing the greatest adversity by supporting them to build the confidence and skills to live, learn and earn.

The courses offered by The Trust help young people aged 11-30 to develop essential life skills, get ready for work and access job opportunities. We support them to find work because having a job or running a business can lead to a more stable, fulfilling life.

Since The Trust was founded by HM The King in 1976, when he was HRH The Prince of Wales, we have helped more than a million young people across the UK. Three in four of those we supported over the last five years have moved into work, education or training.

We are pleased to have changed our name to The King’s Trust, reflecting our Royal Founding President’s continued dedication to our work. We remain committed to working for young people and enabling them to create a better future for themselves. By helping them today, the benefits will be felt for years to come – not just for those we support, but for their communities and the wider economy.

By taking part and fundraising for Palace to Palace you could be the turning point for a young life.
