The Toughest 100

The Band of Climbers Toughest 100 is the hardest sportive of its kind in the UK.

Taking place near Sheffield in August 2024, and designed, organised, and route tested by the Band of Climbers team, we've tweaked the 2023 route, added a brand new, much bigger start and finish venue, and included a monster XL route which makes this the hilliest Sportive in the UK, with almost 5000m of elevation (16,000ft) 

The original route is actually just over 100km in length (68miles), and is the hardest UK Sportive of its kind you may ever ride. What it lacks in distance, it makes up for in elevation. Over 3200m (10,500ft) of climbing awaits, over 22 steep and savage climbs.

For perspective, The Toughest 100 has 65% more elevation per mile than the the Fred Whitton.
