An Audax is a long-distance cycling event that uses a system of timed checkpoints to validate and record the rides. Audax races are organised by clubs and individuals, under the supervision of Audax UK, the internationally recognised long-distance cycling association in the UK.

There's something for everybody and events start from 50km (about 32 miles) and go all the way up to 1400km (about 875 miles), and even this is not the limit because there are set routes, known as 'Permanents', which span the length and breadth of the country and go up to 3200km.
