Entry
The Mini Beast!
The concept of The Beast is a wonderful one! Chased around Yorkshire’s finest roads by the angry Beast. He hunts you down at 12.5mph, if he catches you it’s over!!
200 miles isn’t for everyone though so we’ve created The Mini Beast!
The concept is the same, depart Thirsk at 05:00 ahead of The Beast as he sets off in pursuit of you around some of Yorkshire’s Finest (and toughest) roads. He’ll be doing 12.5mph, if he catches you it’s GAME OVER! Back to HQ, no medal….go home and try again, if you dare!
100 miles, 2,436m of vert! Boltby Bank, Hawnby, Commondale, Castleton, Caper Hill and of course Rosedale Chimney!
Tough, exciting, fun and rewarding … if you make it!
Stay with us in your tent/ motorhome/ caravan at The Racecourse. Bring the family to support/ scrape you of the road!
