Event overview

Ready to roll? Don’t miss your chance to explore some of the best gravel trails south of the river.

Just over 110 km, with 65% off-road—yes, that means all sorts of trails, paths, tracks, and the occasional quiet road for a breather. We’re keeping it interesting! We’ll kick things off at the Velodrome with a caffeine boost before setting out.

There’s a well-stocked feed station halfway to keep you going, and when you get back, you’ll be rewarded with beer and pizza at the Velodrome. Because nothing says "you did it" quite like carbs and a cold one

You’ve got two route options, either the 110 km or the 80 km course. The routes split after the feed station, you can decide on the day which challenge to take on.

Hands down the best off-road sportive I’ve done. Trails I simply didn’t know existed so close to South London. Challenging for seasoned riders but accessible for those new to the discipline. See you there again next year!

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
