The UK Triple Crown (UKTC) brings together three of the UK’s toughest self-supported off-road bikepacking events into one season-long challenge. Riders must take on the Dales Divide, Highland Trail 550 and North Wales 400 all within a single calendar year. Completing them all qualifies you as a UKTC finisher, whilst the rider with the fastest cumulative time across the three is recognised as the UK Triple Crown winner for that year.
We’re thrilled to announce that we will be tracking all three events in 2026. And as befits this unique challenge, we have built a custom UKTC leaderboard, which will pull in data from all three maps, ranking riders by cumulative time.
The year-long nature of this three-part challenge – enhanced by the possibility of ITT attempts – makes this an enthralling but potentially complex competition to follow. Our aim is to highlight those riders who are taking on the challenge and help dotwatchers keep tabs on the race as it unfolds across the year. We’re excited to watch the battle for the 2026 crown unfold!
