The countdown is on for record breaking endurance cyclist, as she prepares to take on the One Way North challenge (OWN2026) in yet another World Record attempt! 🚲🏞️
One Way North is one of the toughest cycling challenges in the world and Auto-Trail are supporting Sarah and her team on the journey! 🚐👏
After a decade-long recovery from a severe neurological disease that left her unable to use her limbs, former track athlete Dr Sarah Ruggins took up cycling in 2023.
Since then, Sarah has gone on to break multiple world records, including cycling from John O’Groats to Land’s End and back again in just 5 days, 11 hours and 14 minutes, as well as recording the fastest women’s 1,000-mile time in history!
Now part of an elite group of female athletes who have surpassed male competitors in endurance records, Sarah is preparing to take on her next world record challenge.
Sarah’s OWN2026 world record attempt will start in Tarifa, Spain and span over 6,000km across nine countries before ending in North Cape, Norway 🌍
Alongside her world record attempt, Dr Sarah Ruggins will also be supporting World Bicycle Relief, The Times’ Charity of the Year. Sarah aims to raise £60,000, which equals 500 bike donations! 🚲
Auto-Trail is proud to be supporting Sarah’s world record attempt by suppling the Auto-Trail Imala 736G, a true home away from home whilst on the road. The OWN2026 challenge is a demanding route, with extreme temperatures and complex boarders. The Imala 736G is the perfect motorhome to provide comfort and calm on such an intense journey.
Sarah’s One Way North 2026 challenge will start at 8am on the 5th June 2026 in Tarifa.
We wish Sarah the best of luck with this challenge! 💯🚲
