The Sharpener

The Sharpener

The Sharpner will test if your spring training has been on target, with a little short, sharp, shock treatment! 

Running from the picturesque Buckingham village of Haddenham, The Sharpener is well established as a lively spring sportive running through the beautiful Chiltern Hills and South Oxfordshire. This course is also a great warm up for our Circuito Del Caffe sportive in June! 

We make sure to pack in some challenging terrain for you with 3,900ft ascent of climbing in the 110km route, and 2,500ft in the Short 65km Sharpener.  Then ‘warm you down’ with coffee and hotdogs!
