Sunday 19th May 2024 | Sparsholt College
A challenging, hilly route through the beautiful Hampshire countryside. Starting and finishing at Sparsholt College in Winchester, the 2024 edition is one of the hardest sportives on our calendar and will combine the most challenging climbs that Hampshire has to offer. From Beacon Hill, Watership Down and Windmill Hill to name a few there will be plenty of hills putting meaning behind the name! You'll be treated to beautiful woodland, stunning countryside, quaint villages and of course, amazing views from the tops of the climbs. But with those ups, must come downs! With over 4,000ft of climb on the 100mile course, there is the same amount of descent for you to enjoy!
"A well organised event through some great countryside. The aspects which stood out for me were the quality and friendliness of the marshals and the generosity of the food station. Great fun and we've already got it in the diary for next year." Racecheck review 2023

Fair point. Without pointing too far (e.g. across the North Sea) - there are some local bits which are "mostly good enough" for me:...
