Over 1000 riders take on courses ranging from 25km to 100km through the rugged and scenic countryside of the Scottish Borders.

Part of a series of national marathon events, this is the only Scottish fixture. On Saturday the focus is on the riders preparing for the marathons the next day. This includes developing bike handling skills and practical on-trail training.
Sunday focuses on families and fun! The ride starts at 10am, but there will also be other events, such as skills instruction for children and less experienced adults.
