Distances: 135 km
Difficulty: Extreme terrain with frequent steep hills and long sustained climb
Limited to: 150 Participants

The Kidderminster Killer is a classic audax that is challenging by reputation but very enjoyable to complete. There are lots of views across The Marches along the route.

The 2022 route has been slightly changed to remind riders what hill climbing is like after the pandemic malaise. Outbound riders will head straight to Church Stretton before encountering the Long Mynd, after which it as a loop through Montgomeryshire including the Cwm and Fiddler’s Elbow. Chapel Lawn Village Hall will be laying on a feast of cakes and sandwiches, covered by your entry fee. Upon arriving at Ludlow you could head for a Michelin Star restaurant if that is your sort of thing. Then the final stretch takes riders around the side of Clee Hill and back to Belbroughton. This is a stunning route but with lots of up and down along the way. Take time and enjoy the views!
