The Rickshaw Challenge for BBC Children in Need is back for 2021, and it will be arriving outside The Coro in Ulverston on 4th November, around 3pm! (Time may be subject to change due to weather etc)

20 year old Harrison Holmes, from Pennington is excited he will be taking part. Please come down to give him a big Ulverston welcome! Harrison will have cycled all the way from Windermere with Matt Baker from BBC’s The One Show.

A team of 5 young people, all of whom have been supported by Children in Need, will cycle a rickshaw from Bristol to Edinburgh. They will push themselves to the limit, battling steep hills and braving the elements to raise money for the charity.

This year, to keep everyone COVID safe, instead of the riders coming to the rickshaw, for the first time the rickshaw is going to them. The Great Rickshaw Relay Challenge will see The One Show’s Matt Baker and team take on a relay-style ride in five chapters, with each rider taking a leg each, travelling through their hometowns and visiting places which hold a particular significance for them along the way.

Best of luck to Harrison and team!
