Organiser's Description
The Pearson Steeplechase is an exciting new event for both road and gravel riders alike. Choose between a 100km road route or a 60km gravel route, both starting and finishing in the beautiful surroundings of Box Hill in Surrey.
EVENT DETAILS
Date and time: Sunday 17 September 2023, 9:30-16:00
Price: £50 including woven finisher’s badge.
Venue and location: Box Hill Steeplechase Event Village RH5 6BY
Food and refreshments: Food and drink stalls at HQ. Ample food and hydration stations on both routes.
Entertainment: Music at start and finish, gantry start/finish line. Picnic opportunities for riders and families.
Rider Benefits: Mechanics at HQ and feedstop, roaming first aid responders and medical provision at HQ. Fully signposted route, GPS routing, timing mat with bike mounted timing chips. Woven finisher’s badge for gravel and road riders. Rider event photography. Idyllic cycling routes and surroundings at Box Hill, steeped in the Surrey countryside.
As the name suggests, the Pearson Steeplechase is inspired by the equine discipline of steeplechasing, a sport invented in Ireland in the 18th century. Staged across the rolling Surrey countryside, the event offers two different courses on two types of terrain; gravel grinders can sign up for a 60km off-road ride, while road riders can opt for a 100km route on the hard stuff. According to experts, a good roadie and their gravel riding equivalent should complete their respective distances in roughly the same time.
Whichever course you choose, riders will pass a number of checkpoints all of which are, funnily enough, church steeples. The event is likely to be competitive but, like the Lord’s house, all are welcome. Indeed, for those of you who conclude that slow-and-steady doesn’t win the race but frankly who cares, Pearson will be waiting at the finish line with a beverage or two, so please join us!
Entries are open now.
