SUNDAY 1ST NOVEMBER
SUFFOLK GO WILD!
STRICTLY LIMITED TO 500 RIDERS – NEARLY SOLD OUT!
DON’T MISS OUT!
A rider favourite is back for 2026! After a challenging summer of wildfires across parts of the reserve and surrounding forestry, we’ve worked closely with RSPB Minsmere to make sure Go Wild can safely go ahead.
With the green light now confirmed, we’ve created some exciting new routes that avoid affected and restricted areas while keeping everything riders love about Go Wild: mixed terrain, plenty of off-road riding, stunning Suffolk scenery and, almost certainly, plenty of mud and smiles.

This is no ordinary sportive. Starting from the incredible RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve, Go Wild links together nature reserves, forestry, wildlife havens and quiet Suffolk lanes in the best possible way, on two wheels.
Following the wildfires that affected parts of the reserve and surrounding forestry over the summer, we have worked closely with RSPB Minsmere to make sure the event can safely go ahead. We are delighted to have the green light for 2026, with updated routes that avoid affected, restricted and currently unusable areas.
We have also secured access to trails that are not normally open to bikes, giving you a rare opportunity to ride restricted sections with the full support and backing of the RSPB. That is part of what makes Go Wild such a unique event.
This is not a road event. Around 45% of the route is off-road, with no alternative sectors, so expect to get muddy and finish with a grin from ear to ear. The routes combine wide forest tracks, rooty singletrack, gravel, sand, mud and quiet country lanes, and are suitable for any bike that feels at home off-road, from a retro hardtail to a full-suspension MTB or your latest gravel bike.
Both the 25-mile & 50-mile riders get a complimentary soup and a roll at the finish plus all riders enjoy free hydration and snack stations. Every route is fully signposted, risk-assessed and supported by the friendly TPR Events team.
routes
At TPR Events, we’re dedicated to creating the best routes for riders to enjoy. Every route is carefully plotted, analysed, risk-assessed, tested, and fully signposted, giving you the confidence to ride with peace of mind.
Plus, all routes will be available to download as GPX files, providing turn-by-turn directions on your phone or GPS device. GPX files will be available a few days before the event, after our final checks for road closures and obstructions.
WHY RIDE WITH TPR EVENTS
Thoughtfully organised events that feel every bit as good as the route itself.
From the first signpost to the finish line, all TPR events are built around inclusivity, quality, atmosphere, value for money and the kind of details riders actually notice on the day.
Properly signed routes
Clear, well-planned routes shaped by local knowledge, so you can focus on the ride rather than second-guessing every turn.
Food, drink & rider support
Well-stocked stops, friendly volunteers, and mechanical support out on the route to keep you fuelled and moving.
Memories worth keeping
Bespoke medals, rider plaques, event photography and those little finishing touches that make the day feel special. Also, courtesy of our friends at Adnams, all riders receive a FREE can of Adnams too!
Great venues and locations
From iconic start locations to scenic countryside routes, the setting is always part of what makes the experience memorable.
Family-run, rider-led
We ride the routes ourselves and care about the details. That hands-on approach creates a genuinely welcoming, rider-first atmosphere.
Not-for-profit, community focused
Every entry helps fund future events and local cycling initiatives, keeping the focus on riders, not shareholders.
Built by riders, backed by volunteers, and designed to leave you already thinking about the next one.
