Chase the Sun UK North
About this event
Sign up for Chase The Sun 2024 and ride across Scotland in one day from dawn to dusk. The event is a ride, not a race, bringing together a community of likeminded cyclists as they attempt this extraordinary challenge.
Starting at Whitley Bay, this 200 mile route has 3,200 meters of elevation. Departing from the beachfront, you will ride through Northumberland National Park and past Hermitage Castle, Forest of Ae and Kendoon Loch. You will see breath-taking vistas, forests, heaths, rivers, lochs, castles and beaches before witnessing the sun set into the sea beside the Isle of Arran as you complete your incredible ride.
