The Isle of Wight is a stunning\, picturesque location fitting for a cyclist. The event will have a mechanic at the start and rolling throughout the course\, sag wagon\, back up medical\, mid feed station\, hot food available at the finish and live gps tracking – the complete Sportive. \n\n\n\n\n\nSave 20% with Sportive Club!Join Sportive Club and save 20% on entry to the Isle of Wight Sportive\, along with discounts on over 80 UK sportives\, cycling brands\, bikes\, training\, trips and more.

SUMMARY:The 100 Climbs North-East Challenge 2026
DESCRIPTION:The roads in and around Weardale in County Durham are without doubt some of the best in the whole of Britain. They are deathly empty\, set in stunning scenery and absolutely packed with classic climbs like the hideous Chapel Fell and the wicked slopes of Peat Hill.  \n\n\n\nThere are 14 climbs in this challenge if you want to bag them all\, and like always on a 100 Climbs challenge YOU are in charge of your route so read on to find out more. \n\n\n\nOrganised by Simon Warren of 100 Climbs fame\, this is the second event in the series and follows the 100 Climbs Cotswolds Challenge on 10 May 2026. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow does a 100 Climbs challenge work?\n\n\n\nIt’s simple. \n\n\n\n1. I tell you which hills to ride.2. You plot the route. That’s right\, YOU plot the route. There are no arrows to follow\, there’s no .gpx file to download\, just a selection of climbs on a map to link in whatever way you wish – a bit like orienteering\, but on a bike and with big hills.  \n\n\n\nTo make it a challenge each climb is allocated an amount of points which are scored by scanning QR codes with your phone. There are a total of 75 points available and they are located at the TOP and BOTTOM of each climb from which you will need to score 40 to qualify as a finisher. This presents you the rider with the task of plotting the best course to outwit the other riders and get back in the shortest distance. (It’s not a race though\, speed is of no consequence)You should be able to put together a route at around 100km to bag the required points\, however if you want a real challenge and want to RIDE THEM ALL\, you will be looking at closer to 160km with close to 4000 metres of elevation. Although there are no prizes for speed there is a prize for shortest distance covered to reach 40 points\, and the shortest distance for all 75 points\, so it’s ALL in the planning. \n\n\n\nHow do you know you have scored the points?\n\n\n\nThe event uses an App called iOrienteering which you will NEED to download to your phone for FREE here for Apple and or here for Android. \n\n\n\n(Registration only takes a couple of minutes\, and this is best done prior to event day.)When you arrive at the HQ\, scan the Load Event QR code and this will load the climbs into the App\, then when you are ready to start\, scan the Start QR code and get going. Next\, when you arrive at the BOTTOM of each climb you scan the first code\, then at the TOP of each climb there will be another board with another QR code.  \n\n\n\nThe combined points give you the total for that climb and are weighted according to how easy they are to reach. When you hit 40 points you can come home and scan the finish QR code or keep going until you have bagged them all. \n\n\n\nNow the most important part\, THE CLIMBS!
\n\n\n\nBelow are the 14 counting climbs and their corresponding TOP and BOTTOM points and there are all stone cold classics. Points are allocated primarily on location rather than difficulty and you can get a rough idea where they all are on the map on the event website.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more detailed info and to plot your route exactly click on the name of each climb will take you to its Strava page. The 100 Climbs APP is also an excellent tool to help plan!

SUMMARY:Maratona dles Dolomites 2026
DESCRIPTION:Every year the Maratona gran fondo (that’s the Italian for sportive!) gets bigger. \n\n\n\nThe entry ballot for 2026 closed early November. Charity and tour operator places are still available  \n\n\n\nThe intense competition for places is a reflection of the legendary nature of this ride\, which is up there with the Marmotte in terms of toughness and as a test of the amateur rider’s physical and mental strength. \n\n\n\nBilled as a race on (mostly) closed roads\, the Maratona starts and finishes in Corvara\, best known as a winter ski resort. It is a 138km ride with 4\,320 metres of climbing; there are two shorter routes but most people who make the trip all the way out to Italy want to ride the full route. The winner usually finishes in a little under 5 hours but plenty of riders take at least double that. \n\n\n\nThe Maratona route takes in seven major climbs: \n\n\n\n\nPasso Campolongo (length: 5.8km\, average gradient: 6.1%)\n\n\n\nPasso Pordoi (length: 9.2km\, average gradient: 6.9%)\n\n\n\nPasso Sella (length: 5.5km\, average gradient: 7.9%)\n\n\n\nPasso Gardena (length: 5.8km\, average gradient: 4.3%)\n\n\n\nPasso Giau (length: 9.9km\, average gradient: 9.3%)\n\n\n\nPasso Valparola (length: 11.8km\, average gradient: 6.7%)\n\n\n\nMür dl giat (the cat wall) (length: 300m\, average gradient: 13.1%)\n\n\n\n\nA Maratona Village is set up around the event in the town of San Leonardo with a fan zone\, pasta and music\, big screens\, a shuttle service to nearby towns and of course concession stands from leading cycling brands including Pinarello\, Campagnolo\, Mavic and Selle Italia. \n\n\n\nHow to enter \n\n\n\nEntry to the Maratona is by ballot due to the huge demand for places. The registration window typically opens in mid October and closes in early November.  \n\n\n\nThe draw for places will take place in the second half of November with riders informed if they have been lucky enough to get a place from early December.  \n\n\n\nSign up for the Sportive.com newsletter to receive alerts about when entries open and are about to close. \n\n\n\nIf you fail to get in through the lottery draw then you can buy a charity place. \n\n\n\nCheck out the following Maratona related content on Sportive.com: \n\n\n\n\nOli Beckinsale’s 2019 Maratona ride report \n\n\n\nPaul Hunt’s 2018 Maratona ride report (Sellaronda route)\n\n\n\nJim Cotton’s 2017 Maratona ride report\n\n\n\nJoe Saumarez Smith’s 2015 Maratona ride report\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaratona 138 KM \n\n\n\n\n\nMedio 106 KM \n\n\n\n\n\nSellaronda 55 KM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Website

SUMMARY:RIDE Tommy Godwin Challenge 2026
DESCRIPTION:The RIDE Tommy Godwin Challenge was set up to honour the memory of 1948 Olympic cycling medallist Tommy Godwin. \n\n\n\nTommy enjoyed cycling in the Warwickshire lanes and in later years was always keen to encourage other cyclists\, whether established stars or total newcomers. With this event we aim to replicate Tommy’s experience of enjoying the countryside in Warwickshire and Worcestershire and his vision of encouraging more people to get out cycling.  \n\n\n\nTwo routes offer views of Warwickshire and Worcestershire countryside\, with plentiful aid stations it’s the perfect ride whether you’re just starting out or wanting a new challenge. \n\n\n\nThe Warwickshire and Worcestershire countryside is a hidden gem for cyclists\, offering peaceful lanes\, rolling hills\, and postcard-worthy views at every turn. Easily accessible from the West Midlands\, yet feeling miles from anywhere\, the landscape unfolds with quiet roads\, historic villages\, and riverside stretches. But don’t be fooled by the calm surroundings—these routes can still test your legs and lungs. \n\n\n\nScenic\, serene\, and full of character—this is countryside cycling at its best.              \n\n\n\nEnjoy a great time in the saddle with the Action Medical Research team on this cycling event with first-class support throughout the day\, raising vital funds to help sick and disabled babies and children. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChampion 62 Miles \n\n\n\n\n\nClassic 45 Miles \n\n\n\n\n\nMore routes coming soon! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Website
