Glentress 7 2025

Thanks to a lot of arm-bending from riders and a can-do attitude from the old TweedLove team, Scotland’s most popular summer MTB endurance event is returning for 2025 on Saturday 27th September. We'll be back on (more or less) the 2024 course and based at the site of the 2023 UCI XC World Champs.

If you've taken part before, you can expect to enjoy that same event buzz that’s always made Glentress 7 so special. The aim is to complete as many laps as you can in seven hours. Riders can do as many laps as they want (or can manage) in the time. If you are riding in a team, you ride in relay – with only one team member on the course at any one time.

Riders will start and finish their laps at the heart of the event village, while spectators and team mates provide the bants. As always, it's an event that's enjoyable for a huge range of abilities - great trail riding, a friendly atmosphere, smiles all round - and, of course, as much pain and effort as you think appropriate! And, most importantly, cake.
