Whichever route you choose, prepare to be amazed. Weave through a breathtaking variety of landscapes, from rolling chalk downs and vibrant grasslands to lush woodlands and scenic heaths.

At the finish line, you can celebrate your accomplishment with a well-deserved medal and goodies from our sponsors. Relax and socialise with fellow riders in our vibrant post-race village, complete with pizza and good company.
