Etape du dales 8th June 2025

Brian G0RHI and Mike G7HEN are looking for operators for the Etape du dales on the 8th June 2025. Please let them know if you are available.

We have a new and exciting route for 2025, taking in a whole host of new climbs and challenges in the Yorkshire Dale National Park. The route will be 177km and have almost 3,600m of ascent, so very much in keeping with the previous challenging routes.

For those travelling from further afield to Horton-in-Ribblesdale (the start/finish location in The Yorkshire Dales), camping in the event field is available.
If you’re interested in helping and would like to know more, please contact  Mike or Brian

The route takes in some of Yorkshire’s finest scenery, going up the Airedale Valley, over Rombalds Moor to Ilkley and across Otley Chevin.

The 23 mile route is to be completed within a 10 hour time limit. Checkpoints will close on a 2mph walking speed.
