Since 2013 the Heavy Metal Truants have cycled from London to the hallowed grounds of Castle Donington and Download Festival. Open to all, our charity ride has seen metal fans, bands, and industry types getting on their bikes and raising over £800,000 in the process. 

Our chosen charities, who work so hard to support children and young people, need our support now more than ever. And so we call on all metalheads from around the world to join us in the name of heavy metal.

Between May 24th and June 6th, the weekend of Virtual Download Festival, we invite you to enter the annals of Heavy Metal Truants fame with challenges from cycling, walking, running, and many more. All proceeds will go to Teenage Cancer Trust, Childline, Nordoff Robbins and Save the Children who’ve been hit hard by these troubled times and have continued to do their work through it all.

The Challenges

If you’re a first-time adventurer or a seasoned endurance athlete, there’s a Heavy Metal Truants event made for you.
