Event Summary
Event Overview
King of the Mountains is back!
8th April 2018.
130KM Route - A mountainous out and back course that takes in some of the best climbs in South Wales. Not once, but twice! The route takes in two mountains that feature in the UK's top 100 climbs among many other lung busters in the area!
98KM Route - This route takes in the first half of the 130km route but then takes a flatter and faster course towards the finish, with a leg stinger in the final few kilometers.
In 2018, courtesy of Cannonball Timing Services, you will be able to collect a timing split for one of the longest climbs and for the whole course.
Prizes, courtesy of Brav Socks will be awarded for the fastest times on the 5KM Rhigos Mountain Road.
Prizes Categories:
130KM Route - KOM 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place. QOM 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place.
98KM Route - KOM 1st Male. QOM 1st Female.
