Quantock Quake 2026

2026 will see the thirteenth edition of Quantock Quake held in the beautiful Quantock Hills National Landscape, Somerset, South West England.

In 2023 organisers Channel Events moved the event to the Saturday to celebrate the event’s tenth year: it worked so well they’ve decided to keep it on Saturday!

The Quantock Hills are a mecca for mountain biking and you’ll once again treated to stunning open moorland, woodland trails, natural single track and secluded combes. The Quantocks has it all!

Now very much established in the South West cycling calendar and the catalyst for building ‘The Triple’, you’ll be kicking yourself if you miss it. 

Whether you choose the main or extended route, you will be able to access areas of the Quantocks usually restricted by access legislation, as well as riding some of the area’s classic single tracks. You’ll also see some of the greatest views, both from and of, the Quantocks and be fully supported by our friendly Quantock Quake event team.

Places are strictly limited to 300 – Enter now to avoid disappointment or alternatively enter ‘The Triple’ to guarantee your place in all three mountain biking events. See below for details!
