Take on a legendary self-supported bikepacking epic across England's most beautiful and demanding countryside with the Cotswolds 100/200/300. This multi-distance event, running from September 19th to 21st, 2026, starts and finishes in the historic city of Bath. Choose your ultimate test: the brutal yet exhilarating 298-mile "300", the original 198-mile "200" featuring over 25 thrilling descents, or the 105-mile "100" designed for riders with a busier schedule. Each meticulously crafted route traverses Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, and Warwickshire, linking bridleways, byways, and world-class singletrack across the stunning Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Known for its relentless technical climbing, challenging rock-and-root descents, and breathtaking views from the Cotswolds escarpment, this is a true rider's adventure, not a race. With comprehensive route guides, live GPS tracking, and a mass start, it's a premier weekend for mountain bike and gravel enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable, self-reliant journey through the heart of England.
