It is hoped that more than 250 buildings will be included in the Sponsored Ride and Stride, organised by the Nottinghamshire Historic Churches Trust, which takes place on Saturday, September 10.
County organiser Mike Elliott says in the past some people have managed to fit in 20 churches on their route.
He said: "People can walk if they can't get a bike and, because a lot of churchgoers are elderly, we allow them to be sponsored for the number of hours they sit in their church, recording visitors on the day.
"The event also gives people the opportunity to visit smaller buildings which normally would not be open so often."
Cyclists and walkers are sponsored according to how many churches they visit.
Participants are asked to nominate a church or chapel to receive half of what they raise, with the other half going to the county Historic Churches Trust. For more information contact Mr Elliott on 0115 937 6506 or e-mail elliottnews@btconnect.com.
