Ride Format
07:00 – Male Start
07:05 - Female Start
A short, staggered start helps manage early-route flow while allowing each field a clear and fair run onto the course. Once underway, riders face the full 200 km route and 3,500 m of elevation, navigating long climbs, remote trails, and fast valley sections through the Scottish Borders and Tweed Valley.
This is a self-supported endurance challenge within a festival setting — ride smart, respect fellow competitors, and settle in for a long day on the bike.
