Our Annual FESTIVE CHALLENGE is on again as we farewell 2025 and launch into 2026 with a bang!
A take on the well known ‘Rapha Festive 500’, but ours has a twist so that all athletes – no matter your level or race focus can gain the most from the challenge, and make it applicable to you and your goals. Ultimately the purpose behind the challenge is to add a little focus and a training spike over the Xmas / New Year period when many tend to have time off work and extra time to train. And there’s nothing like a change up AND a challenge to keep (or even increase!) your consistency and compliance over the festive season amongst the celebrations!

Commences: Xmas Eve – Wednesday 24 December 2025
Concludes: New Years Eve – Wednesday 31st December 2025 (8 days inclusive)
