About the Race:

Three times the pain. Three times the punishment. Three times Blackgate.

That’s right, the Blackgate Threepeat is back on the calendar and you already know what’s waiting. A stoic battle of attrition where the terrain does the talking and only those willing to dig deep will reap the rewards.

Expect a race that gets harder each lap. This one won’t be won by simply hanging on — it’ll take grit, resilience and the ability to embrace the suffering when it arrives.

Blackgate is back. The question is: who can endure it?
