The North Coast 500
In the first week of June 2026, Caroline Livesey completed one of the fastest endurance rides ever achieved on the NC500.
Riding continuously for 516 miles (830 km) around the north of Scotland, she battled changing weather, relentless climbs, fatigue and the demands of maintaining an extraordinary pace of over 27 kph.
Supported by an exceptional crew throughout the challenge, Caroline crossed the finish line in 32 hours, 22 minutes, setting a new World Ultra Cycling Association NC500 World Record and lowering the previous female record by more than four hours.
The project is currently awaiting Guinness World Records ratification.
Why?
As co-founder of Peak Education Nepal, Caroline has spent years working to provide educational opportunities for children who would otherwise never have the chance to attend school.
This project was a way to expose the charity to a wider audience, inspiring people to follow the journey while raising funds that will continue changing lives long into the future.
The Route
Distance: 516 miles / 830 kms
Elevation: 33,000 ft / 10,000m
Start and Finish: Inverness Castle

Where do the donations go?
Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference.
This challenge was about more than performance.
Through this project we have raised significant funds for Peak Education Nepal, supporting access to education for children in Nepal who would otherwise not have the opportunity. Your donations will go directly to the families in need.
Education changes everything:
- It creates independence
- It opens opportunities
- It breaks cycles of poverty
If you would still like to support the project, donations remain open and every contribution continues to make a genuine difference.
