Returning after a break last year, the 200km, 100km and 50km events ran from Perranwell on 17th May. Strong westerly winds made the going tough in parts, especially for the 100km riders as they headed out for the West Penwith loop, but provided a helping hand along the North Cliffs. After the general sogginess of the 2026 spring we got off fairly lightly with only a few heavy rain showers.
Audax UK this year has had a “50:50 at 50” promotion to encourage more women to take part. Despite not being set up as a specific 50:50 event, we had very nearly equal numbers of men and women on the 100km ride, with many first-time riders. There was a really good atmosphere on all the rides, with new friends made, new challenges met, and lots of courage, determination and mutual support.
The events overall made a surplus of £122.86 which has been donated to ShelterBox.
