Pure Peak Grit

On 12th July 2019, 10 female cyclists embarked on an adventure, one designed by endurance cyclist Alaina Beacall, which would cover over 600km and take on more than 13,500m of vertical ascent. 

Pure Peak Grit was born.

The inaugural edition led the way for subsequent iterations of the event being run in 2022 and 2024. Each year the route and format varies, but the core principles stay the same, ensuring it remains as one of the UK's most challenging cycling events.
