After the success of its first edition, back for 2023 is the UK calendar's biggest early season race - The Peaks 2 Day

A huge thank you to Giant Sheffield for taking up title sponsorship on this event. In a time where the UK Road Calendar is struggling with events (especially of this size), their support will go a long way and is allowing the event to happen in 2023!

The Peaks 2 Day is a National B stage race on the 18th and 19th of March 2023 in the Peak District. There will be men's and women's races with equal prize money, leaders jerseys and KOM jerseys. There will also be a team prize.

There will be a women’s TT followed by a women's road race on the Saturday morning and then a men's road race in the afternoon on the Bole Hill road race course. Sunday will hold a men's TT followed by a men's road race in the morning and a women's road race in the afternoon on the Hade Edge road race course and Holme Moss TT course (the second day’s course has been changed from Bradfield to Hade Edge this year to suit the stage race format better). The format has slightly changed this year with the men’s and women’s time trials on separate days in order to cater for more riders and to allow the race to run smoother. This event is open to Elite, 1st, 2nd and 3rd category riders.

Team entries will be given priority but there should be some space for individual entries too. Team sizes are limited to a maximum of 4 riders for the men's event and 5 riders for the women's event. Two reserve riders can be submitted for each team, team substitutions can be made up until Tuesday the 15th of March 11:55pm. Entries close Saturday 4th of March 11:55pm. In the event that not all places are fulfilled, we will start to accept team reserve riders and increase team sizes. 

Entry per rider is £55. Teams can either enter riders individually on the BC event page and email james@theybc.co.uk to confirm team members, or team managers can enter via the team entry option on the BC event page. Composite teams are permitted if riders not part of a formal team are wishing to be included in the team prize.

Team cars are permitted in the convoy. Drivers must be named as a Team Manager on a valid British Cycling race licence and the vehicle should be appropriately insured. If a Team Manager wishes to be a part of the convoy, email james@theybc.co.uk no later than Saturday the 11th of March 11:55pm with full name, date of birth, BC membership number, vehicle registration and vehicle make and model.

Only road bikes are permitted in the time trial stages.
