The countdown is on! Gareth Atkinson, director and head of our London studio, is gearing up to join more than 80 cyclists from the industry on Club Peloton’s Knight Frank Cycle to MIPIM 2026.

Setting off from London on 5th March, the cyclists will cover a mammoth 1350km+ in gruelling conditions, taking them across France before reaching Cannes for MIPIM a week later. 

The cycle aims to raise funds for three of Club Peloton's supported projects, transforming the lives of young people. These include:

  • The Tom Ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust - helping disadvantaged young people in central London realise the potential of their own lives, and helping tackle the root causes of violent street crime in the most deprived areas of the city
  • Cyclists Fighting Cancer - providing specially adapted trikes to children living with cancer and helping them get pedalling on their road to recovery
  • Coram – the UK’s first and longest-serving children’s charity, funding adoption activity days for children to meet with approved adopters nationwide

We’d like to thank Gareth’s amazing sponsors, who this year are Overbury, McLaren Group, TMS Consultancy and Milient for their support:

  • Overbury - the UK’s leading fit out and refurbishment specialist, delivering exceptional projects in office, higher education and science & research sectors

  • TMS Consultancy - TMS provides practical expertise to improve road safety and traffic management by offering Road Safety Audits, training services and a variety of other road safety services
  • Milient - purpose-built software for project-based teams, from architects and engineers to consultants and IT specialists

Gareth said: “A big thank you to our generous sponsors, Overbury, McLaren Group, TMS Consultancy and Milient for their incredible support and helping me to achieve my sponsorship goal. This year is the 20th anniversary of the Cycle to MIPIM, a wonderful event that has raised more than £5m for life-changing projects supporting young people over the last two decades. I’m proud to be clipping in and taking on the challenge again this year in aid of such an important cause. Chapeu!”
