75KM & 1550M CLIMBING

Day 1 of Gritfest will take riders to some of the most spectacular riding and areas you will see in the UK. The first special stage takes riders through Twyi forest with a fast descent to finish. After a short linking section, SS2 is the longest of the event, into the heart of Tywi with an undulating track to keep you on your toes, and a fast finish. SS3 takes riders into new areas, with another timed section that features more descending than climbing.

PROLOGUE

5.4KM & 170M CLIMBING

The WTB Prologue returns for 2025, and it will take place on Friday afternoon and early evening. This is not a compulsory stage, and it will not form a part of the overall results. Separate prizes will be awarded, including spot prizes. The course is approximately 5.4km and just a short ride from the arena. Expect a fun start to the event and a chance to get the legs warmed up for the weekend ahead.
