Routes

Two routes will take riders through Bath city centre initially, before climbing back up to Claverton Down and then heading south through the breathtaking, scenic countryside of North East Somerset. Riders will have the chance on the longer route to cycle through the Longleat estate.

It’s called the Beast for a reason; everyone knows Bath for its challenging hills and stunning views.

This year’s Bath Beast has a new home at Walcot Rugby Fotball Club

The 45-mile and 75-mile distances are both designed to challenge the most dedicated of riders and will provide a fantastic opportunity for cyclists wanting to discover the undulating hills around Bath.

Each route is a challenge in its own right, and will require riders to activate their Beast Mode, find their inner Beast and push themselves to their limits as they take on some incredible hills and long steady climbs.

Feed stations along the route are sponsored by HIGH5, sports nutrition specialists and with mechanical and medical support too along the way. Organised by the team from Pulse Events, who have been working to make the routes as challenging and safe as possible, the Bath Beast is gaining a reputation for being a sportive not to be missed.
