Bealach Mor

Bealach Mor – Saturday 7th September 2024
ENTRIES OPEN

The Bealach is the UK’s biggest road climb with an ascent of 626m from sea level in just 10km.  It is set in a fabulous unspoilt landscape with outstanding views of the sea and hills.  The Applecross Peninsula is renowned as a gem in Scotland’s crown of natural wonders. The idea of a sportive belongs to local cycling legend Clifford Davidson.

The event was first run in the summer of 2006 and it was immediately obvious that had captured the imagination of cyclists of all standards. Shortly after, due to demand, we introduced a 2nd shorter option which also included the opportunity to climb the big one!  Bealach Mor retains the original route of 90 miles and the Bealach Beag introduced a shorter distance of 43 miles.

  “there is nowhere better in the UK to test your alpine fitness that the Bealach na Ba.” Lee Craigie: ex-British MTB Champion and co-founder of The Adventure Syndicate
