In 2023, Oscar Sinfield embarked on an extraordinary journey, cycling 400 miles past every veterinary practice in Somerset over two days. Oscar was joined by enthusiastic veterinary colleagues along the way, and together they raised over £5,600 for Vetlife.
This year, Oscar is taking his passion and dedication to the next level with an even bigger challenge—and he’s inviting you to be part of it! Over 15 days, Oscar will cycle to all 12 veterinary schools across Great Britain, covering more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km). Along the way, he’ll host talks and wellbeing evenings for students at each university, aiming to inspire and connect with the next generation of veterinary professionals.
The goal is to explore the beauty of our country while encouraging people of all abilities to join in the fun. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or just want to try a segment of the route, we’d love for you to join us for some exercise, camaraderie, and perhaps even a café stop!
