Now entering it's fourth year, the Race Check Gold Award Winning Great British Divide is an unsupported MTB bikepacking event from one end of the country to the other.
The Divide is not a race; it is an adventure and reliability test to be completed in a couple of weeks. Travelling from the bottom to nearly the top of Great Britain, at times taking a less obvious route whilst passing through much of the most beautiful, dramatic and testing terrain the country has to offer, including the majority of our National Parks.
The Full Route with a distance of 2000km and 35000m of climbing and the Short(er) Route at 1400km and 27000m are both around 70% off-road and both provide a challenge and experience you will never forget.
Newly introduced for 2024 is a Pairs Category for both the Full and Short(er) routes. Over the last few years we have seen various riders connecting on the route and unofficially becoming a pair but have now formalised this element of the event to create a dedicated Pairs option that distinguishes between the Solo and Pairs performances.
Pairs will be required to carry a Tracker each and will be listed as a Pair on our live tracking. Pairs will be able to share equipment. A Pair will be counted as a 'whole' rider - if one half of a Pair scratches, the whole Pair scratches, if one half of a Pair contravenes a rule, the whole Pair contravenes a rule and so on.

In August 2024 the fourth edition will roll out from Canterbury, will you be one of the riders.....?
Travel to the start is best done using the train service with a very good high-speed service connecting London to Canterbury.
