What this race demands

The Peaks Tour Sportive demands sustained climbing strength and endurance across 160 kilometers of mountainous terrain in the Peak District.

Climbing volume

Accumulating 2,601 meters of elevation gain over a 160 km route requires continuous management of gradients on both short and long ascents.

Aerobic endurance

Completing a ride of this distance and vertical profile necessitates a high level of aerobic conditioning to sustain output over many hours in the saddle.

Pacing discipline

The presence of challenging climbs spread throughout the course requires disciplined energy expenditure early in the day to prevent late-stage fatigue.

Consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout an expected ride duration exceeding five hours.
