New entries released for sold-out Struggle Dales Ultra

Struggle Events have launched a further 200 places for the sellout Struggle Dales Ultra sportive.

Taking place in Harrogate on 25 May, the Struggle Dales 200km route option is among the UK's toughest - but it seems that hasn't deterred entrants, with all the first wave of places selling out.

An extra 200 entries are now on sale to satisfy demand.

Thought you were off the hook? More entries released for Struggle Dales Ultra.

Meanwhile, places remain available for the marginally less arduous 175km and 140km route options.

All three routes take in a selection of iconic Yorkshire cycling climbs including Park Rash, Greenhow Hill and Hartwith Bank, showcasing the stunning scenery in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The 140km route adds in an extra loop to take in the ascent of Malham Cove, while the 175km route spurs off to take in Burnsall Fell and Barden Moor before rejoining the main circuit.

If all that sounds like a daunting excess of Yorkshire climbing, Struggle also offer warm weather training camps in Mallorca and Girona to help you prepare or, dare we say it, to enjoy not being in Yorkshire for a few days. (You'll appreciate those gradients all the more when you get home.)

Entries to Struggle Dales range from £49 to £69 depending on which route you choose, or you can enter the Struggle Trilogy - Dales, Moors and Borderlands - for £169.
