Radio presenter Owain Wyn Evans will cycle through all four UK nations to raise money for BBC Children in Need.
The Welsh host of BBC Radio 2's Early Breakfast Show will travel almost 400 miles, setting off from Glasgow and finishing in Cardiff.
The five-day challenge will start on 9 November and finish on 13 November - when the fundraiser will be broadcast.
The only member of the annual TV fundraiser's hosting team for 2026 to be revealed so far is fellow Welsh presenter, One Show host Alex Jones.
The BBC said Evans' challenge would be the "greatest ever distance" covered in a Radio 2 endeavour for the charity.
Evans, who is originally from Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, said: "When I said yes to this challenge, I knew it would push me well outside my comfort zone.
"It's going to be tough, demanding and probably a little daunting at times, but I'm ready to give it absolutely everything I've got."
