Name: Exmoor Beast
Start: 2026-08-29T07:00:00+01:00
Location: Wimbleball Lake

New for 2026 we are hosting the Exmoor Beast. We're offering three fabulous routes: the 100 mile Exmoor Beast, the 65 mile Exmoor Beauty and the 50 mile Exmoor Breeze.
Either take on the super-tough iconic climb of Dunkery Beacon (2 miles at 10.3 percent) or the somewhat easier, but still stunning toll road climb (4 miles at 5.5 percent). Medal times will be slightly longer for the Dunkery Beacon options. Our 50 mile Breeze route takes the toll road. You can choose which climb just after the first feed station which is at 23 miles!
The start and finish is at Wimbleball Lake with camping available.
All routes are fully signed and supported with quality feed stations, outriders, mechanics and medics. The sportive includes electronic chip timing providing you with an official completion time, plus a bronze, silver or gold finishers medal. Medals are awarded according to time.
There is plenty of camping at Wimbleball Lake so why not make a bank holiday weekend of it?
The sportives are part of our Wimbleball Endurance Sports festival so there are triathlons, swims & running races across the whole bank holiday weekend, to keep the whole family entertained!
