The event consists a choice of 4 courses; 38Km, 72Km, 100km and 118Km, with all starting and finishing at the Ramsey Rugby Club in the Mooragh Park, Ramsey. The 32Km is a flat route around the Northern Plains and is suitable for all abilities. The 72, 100 & 118Km routes have 1, 2 & 3 major climbs respectively; Druidale, Slieau Whallian & the Sloc.

Manx Timing Solutions will be providing the event timing and each participant will have a front number board with integrated timing chip which will be logged at the start, at checkpoints along the way and again at the finish. This will provide entrants with their times for each section and allow for comfort breaks & regroupings at each checkpoint. It also means that participants may choose which course they wish to complete on the day as the timing system will identify the course option ridden from the number of checkpoints the rider has passed through.

Info for Riders

Participants may start anytime between 09:00 & 10:00, although slower riders for the longer distances are advised to go off as close to 09:00 as possible. Entry includes electronic timing, energy bar and a refreshment voucher for after the event.

Parental Consent forms are available for download from the British Cycling website.
