About

OVERVIEW

Land’s End to John o’ Groats is the traversal of the whole length of the island of Great Britain, in the southwest and northeast.

The LEJOG 1400 AUDAX is a 1400 km randonnee at randonneur standard between the two extremities. Riders will be expected to maintain a minimum cycling average speed of 12 kph including anytime spent off the bike.

The last edition took place between 03-08 July 2022. The next edition will run in the Summer of 2024!

Route doesn’t follow the most direct route between the start & finish whilst passing through England; Wales & Scotland!

Controls will be placed at roughly 50-mile intervals but 4 of the controls, which we hope riders will use overnight, will have adequate shower & sleeping facilities.

Drop bag to 2 of the overnight controls, an opportunity for riders to collect clean clothes etc will help ensure everyone makes it through this randonnee. Your drop-bags will later be transferred to John o’ Groats ready for collection on arrival.

In order to keep the entry fee to a minimum level premium in comparison to other LEJOG events; each and every rider will need to make their own way to the start at Land’s End and home from John o’ Groats afterwards.
