17 August 2025 – The Beast – Lake District 108 mile Sportive
At 108 miles, The Beast sportive is our longest and most challenging event of the year.
Although some of the climbs are steep ( 20% + on Kirkstone Pass) and long (Shap Summit 10km +), they are all rideable (no pushing / walking) by most and very rewarding.
An unforgettable day spent riding some of the back roads of Cumbria, 2 x well stocked and remote feed stations near public toilets, will keep you fueled up and comfortable for the challenges en route.
Come to Lancaster and use your summer fitness to take on our annual long Lake District sportive – 108 miles of scenic riding – remote lanes, stunning views, challenging passes, lake shores, forest roads and seaside promenades – something for everyone to savor awaits.
“Hi Organisers of Lakes 108 . Firstly brilliant event . The most enjoyable of the ones I have done this year . It’s a combination of the route , scenery , good roads , good climbs + great people .”
