Fred Whitton Challenge

The Wheelbase Fred Whitton Challenge is a 112 mile cycling challenge with over 3500m of elevation. Every year at the start of May, up to 2000 riders take on the challenge in the Lake District.
The event is loved by many, and the completion of the Fred route is a rite of passage for any enthusiastic cyclist. For that reason, over the years, we have seen thousands of people complete the Wheelbase Fred Whitton Challenge route in their own time.
The Macmillan Four Seasons Fred Whitton Challenge is your opportunity to complete the Wheelbase Fred Whitton Challenge route in your own time over one or more days whilst still supporting the event and our special charities.
