London Paris Off-Road is a four-day supported gravel cycling journey from Guildford in Surrey to Paris, covering 365 kilometers with 2,386 meters of climbing. Organised by Leadout Events, the route traverses off-road trails and quiet ways through southern England and northern France, concluding at the Eiffel Tower.

The ride begins on Thursday with an 85 km stage from Guildford to Newhaven, following the Downs Link trail across disused railway corridors before continuing along the coast into Brighton and the Newhaven ferry terminal. Participants take the afternoon ferry crossing to Dieppe, where dinner is served on board prior to arrival. Stage two covers 79 km and 837 meters of elevation from Dieppe to Rouen, incorporating singletrack and undulating terrain. Stage three heads 86 km from Rouen to Vernon across mixed rural surfaces, and stage four runs 115 km with 858 meters of climbing along the Seine valley, forest trails, and towpaths before entering Paris via a protected cycleway for the final 10 kilometers into the city.

The tour is fully supported with forward luggage transfers, support vehicles, mechanical assistance at scheduled stops and hotel finishes, and on-course ride captains. Participants may ride independently or in informal groups. The package includes four nights of accommodation with breakfast, evening meals, ferry crossing, luggage transport, and bike repatriation back to London. Recommended equipment includes a gravel bike fitted with tubeless tyres measuring between 40 mm and 48 mm (minimum 38 mm).
