The Inflatable Colour Dash is back bigger, louder and more colourful than ever before! #getmessy #ICD19

The St Barnabas Hospice Colour Dash is the first and the best Colour Dash in the County. The five-kilometre run is an un-timed fun run where you will be splattered from head to toe in vibrant coloured paint. We will be adding fun new inflatables across the route for 2019 to ensure a ‘bounce-tastic’ experience to make this the best Colour Dash yet!

Don’t worry if you’re not an avid runner, you can walk, skip, dance or jump your way around the 5k route!

With four simple rules, the day is easy to follow:
•Start wearing white (t-shirt not provided)
•Take on the challenge of our inflatable obstacles (or go round them, we don’t mind!)
•Finish covered in a rainbow of colour
•Raise lots of money for St Barnabas Hospice.

The fun doesn’t stop there!

With surprises on the route, you can also enjoy a full day of action packed fun in our Colour Village, with Live DJ’s, exciting activities and delicious street food and drinks for the whole family!

Colour Waves

We will be setting waves off every 5 minutes to ensure a much smoother start to your run, ensuring you get the best experience with all your friends and family!

Market Rasen Racecourse

Taking its name from the typically flat lands in Lincolnshire and the surrounding area, you’ll glide through the level plains on the Sigma Sports' Arrow Sportive like a dart through the air – save for an unlikely uphill test that waits for tired legs at the end of the ride.

You’ll start out on Market Rasen Racecourse and head south, straight onto quiet roads. The first part of the course points more downhill than the even gradient the area is famous for – so make the most of the slightly sloping angle as you pass through sleepy village after sleepy village, linked by unspoilt country lanes. Heading towards Lincoln, the first climb of the day will present itself just after Canwick. It’s steep but quick and easy to deal with after a little exertion.

Once this has passed, it’s onto the long, straight open roads as far south as Ruskington in the North Kesteven District – giving you through opportunity to set your own pace on terrain that remains relatively flat.

Crossing over a series of dykes and small rivers, you’ll head to Woodhall Spa and Bucknall, where the terrain slowly begins to rise, as you cling to the Lincolnshire Wolds for the next 15 miles until the finish line is in sight, from here it is a flat run in to Market Rasen.

The Flat 100, is possibly the Flattest sportive in the country.

Not everyone wants to find a Top 100 Climb  on an event so to buck the trend we have sought out a route where you don’t have to climb a hill. Some people do find this a big attraction and the event is very popular, so join us for a great day out.  It really is a must do ride, the feedback we get tells us this and entries go very fast so be sure to enter early!

There will be free photos to download from Adie’s Photography, a top local cycling photographer.

We hope that after you’ve tried the Flat 100 you’ll be hooked on our value for money sportives where a great day out on the bike is all that matters.

Sporting Events 2019

2019 will be the 7th edition of the toughest Peak District sportive. The Peak Epic is one of the UK’s most challenging road cycling events. Comparable to the Fred Whitton and Dragon Ride.

The ride starts and finishes from Lady Manners School in the beautiful Peak District market town of Bakewell. The truly epic long route ascends 4000m / 13000ft in just 166km / 103 miles, across the full breadth of Peaks taking in the Hope Valley, Edale, Chapel-en-le-Frith, The Goyt Valley/Cat & Fiddle, Macclesfield Forest, Axe Edge, Longnor and finally Lathkill Dale.

The majority of the ride is held on narrow country lanes away from the traffic filled A and B roads. The terrain is relentless, continuously up and down, twisting and turning leading to low average speeds e.g the average finish time last year for the long route was 9 hours. The Peak Epic is certainly not to be underestimated!

At the foot of all the named climbs there will be climb boards depicting average and max gradient (%), climb length in (km), vertical ascent (m) these will be accompanied by climb summit signs at the top. However do not be fooled into thinking the only climbs on the route are the named ones. There are plenty of hidden “non climbs” scattered throughout.

In addition to the long route there is a Medium route – for full route details see the maps and profiles below.

The Peak Epic is a British Cycling registered sportive run under BC rules and regulations.

Women's & Junior CiCle Classic

In its third year, the Nottinghamshire Wheeler Sportive has been given an earlier slot in the calendar giving you a chance to take in the brisk and winding byways of rural Nottinghamshire during the summer months.

The routes start out from Southwell Racecourse and after cutting through Southwell itself riders head out north, winding through quaint English villages on gently undulating terrain, all the while tracking the River Trent for the first 20 or so miles. After passing through Sutton-on-Trent, Short route riders will point their steeds west towards Tuxford, while Epic and Standard riders continue on a northerly track. Here the Epic and Standard routes take in more of glorious Nottinghamshire: crossing railway lines and canals, bisecting swathes of pastureland — you really begin to get a sense of the area.

There are no sudden climbs to note in these early stages of the ride to catch you unawares but make sure you leave a little in the tank for the latter stages of the course.

After reaching Retford riders will work their way south, dropping down through the lovely village of Egmanton before cycling on to Farnsfield. The Epic and Standard routes will split for a second time with the Epic riders continuing south and the Standard riders making a break for home, heading out east and returning through Southwell for the last time.

At this point, Epic riders turn west initially as they begin to climb higher to the town of Rainworth. From here you’ll head south to Calverton where you will find Georges Lane - a climb that may test you a bit if you haven’t kept up with your training during the spring months.

After a quick descent into Woodborough, you’ll have a short recovery before we test you one final time, before the home stretch. Lingwood Lane is a short-lived climb with a short respite half way up, before the final 9% kick at the top. Take time to catch your breath now as it is all downhill for here, giving you a chance to take in the sights along the river Trent.

This year, thanks to the fact the event is now held in the Summer, the Nottinghamshire Wheeler has introduced a third longer route giving those riders who relish a century cycle ride a chance to make a day of it, while still catering to those who just want to take a leisurely cycle around Nottinghamshire.

10th Anniversary of the Grantham Running Club Flagship Event.

The event sells out quickly and if you want to be among some of the 900 runners taking part, make sure you keep your eyes out for entries to open.

A fairly flat course PB's are possible with the right conditions.

We recommend your dog wears a running harness & is used to running with you. Remember they need to train too! Don't expect your dog to run a distance just because you can! Please clean up after your dog & keep your dog on a lead at all times as this is a farming area. Please book on using Canicross category. Canicross & BNW races are not under UKA rules & do not offer EA affilliated discount. Canicross entries & BNW entries are open up to 10 miles due to time allowances on the course & increased temperatures for the dogs. Canicross start times will be earlier than the first race start to protect the dogs from the heat.

Our chosen charity – Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance are kindly assisting with the baggage drop this year. We are politely asking for a minimum donation of £1.

You loved us so much we're coming right back. Dawn or Dusk Run – in association with Notts Women Runners - for those who start early or finish late. Four events in one day. You choose your challenge!

Sunday 6th October 2019 – Rushcliffe Country Park, Nottinghamshire.

Dawn or Dusk is your chance to run or walk at a time of day that suits you. Join us as the sun rises or, if you prefer, as it starts to set. If you really want to put yourself to the test you can take on both, or even all four events in the day!
Everyone taking part will receive an official Dawn or Dusk t-shirt to run in. There is no timing and no bib numbers. This is all about being active with other like-minded people. There’ll also be a great medal for each category. So whether you like to start early or finish late, Dawn or Dusk has something for you. The event is suitable for all of the family as the 5K can be walked.
