About the Event

Info for Riders

Short route: Approx 32 miles (exact milage TBC)

Our short route is ideal for beginners or those who prefer a shorter distance. It offers a manageable challenge while still providing an enjoyable experience. Participants can expect to complete the ride within a reasonable time frame and enjoy the ride out to the Lancashire countryside.

Starting from Bolton Arena, Horwich, riders will head out to Adlington, through Coppull and into Eccleston, where you will be greeted with your first feed station. From here, you will ride the country lanes, heading past Wrightington and into Standish where your second feed station will await. Once refuelled, you will make your way back to Bolton Arena where you will collect your commemorative medal.

Long route: Approx 65 miles (exact milage TBC)

The long route caters to the intermediate riders who have some experience with longer distances. It presents a moderate challenge, requiring a bit more endurance and stamina compared to short option.

Like the short route, you will be starting from Bolton Arena, Horwich, you will head out towards Adlington, Coppull, with your first feed station at Eccleston.

You will continue out along the Lancashire lanes to Hesketh Bank where you should get your first sighting of the Irish Sea as you meander to the coast and head into Southport.

From Southport you make your way out via Ainsdale and continue towards Parbold. Once done, you will make your way to Standish to the feed station where you can take advantage of the food.

You will rejoin the short route and head back to Bolton Arena for your medal and celebration.
