Kent Audax - cycling events in Kent

Kent Audax gallery

Kent Audax is a web site to promote long distance cycling events in South East England held under Audax UK regulations. All cyclist are welcome to take part, regardless of their other club or CTC affiliations.

Audax is an increasingly popular form of cycling over a range of distances - from 50km (about 32 miles) to over 1400km (something like 870 miles). If you're not a member of CTC, AUK or BC, you will need to obtain temporary membership of AUK - just add an extra £2.00 on top of the event fee and AUK will ensure that you have the necessary 3rd party insurance for the duration of the event.

Oasts and Coasts 300 km - 26th April 2025
The now iconic Kent coastal event organised by Tom Jackson from Meopham will run again in 2025. A minor change to the start/end control: Judson Recreation Ground Sports Pavilion but no route change.

Wye Wednesday 200 km - February 2027
Start/end location at Gravesend Cyclopark conveniently next to the A2. A 7:30am start taking you through Seal, Hadlow, Headcorn and Rolvenden before the turn at Hythe. The return leg takes you through Wye before using the Pilgrims Way and other quiet lanes to guide you back to Gravesend - and all on a Wednesday! Beats working. This event only runs every 4 years in PBP year so don't miss it.

Brevet des Grimpeurs du Sud is an award for anybody who completes 5 rides of 100km or over eligible for AAA points starting in the counties of Essex, Herts, Bucks, Surrey, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent and Greater London within the same calendar year (from 1st Jan to 31st Dec). AUK membership is not required.
