Running from the picturesque Buckingham village of Haddenham, The Sharpener is well established as a lively Spring sportive running through the beautiful Chilterns and Aylesbury Vale.

We have kept it fresh for year 6 with subtle route changes that ensure we pack in some challenging terrain with over 3,300ft ascent into the 100km route and 2,000ft into the shorter 55km version which are both routed through quiet country lanes.

Distances and pricing

We do not make refunds but riders can transfer their entry to another rider by emailing info@allezsportives.co.uk Adults can also freely switch between the 100 and 55 km routes if injury, lack of training or added enthusiasm kick in before the event. To see how to change between routes follow the instructions on this page or speak to us on the day.

An administration fee of 1.5% will be applied to each order by our online entry system partner, Results Base.

Junior riders

Any rider under the age of 18 must be entered and accompanied by an adult - that means the adult creates the profile, adds the child as a rider and then enters both into the event. Adults who are accompanying young riders need to download and fill in this form and bring it to the event registration with them.

Food and drink

You’ll be served with coffee and tea at registration and visit well stocked feed-stations on the course. There is a single station on the 55km route with a second on the 100km which includes toilet facilities, plus when you get back we’ll have a hot dog ready for you.
