It's back! But as a re-born event for all you XC Endurance lovers. The TORQ 3-6-9 will take place on the first Bank Holiday Sunday in May and is headline sponsored by long term Gorrick sponsor and partner TORQ Fitness, the sports nutrition experts. With a raft of co-sponsors and supporters, the TORQ 3-6-9 one day event offers a great choice of categories* with up to 9 hours riding for Solos, Pairs & Teams and includes a Single Speed category. 

Yes, it's at Minley, so you can expect a superb 6.5 mile XC endurance course with all the good bits in, that's been well-prepared by our experienced team.

There'll be full event facilities including a TORQ trade stand Arena, top quality catering open all day and an event photographer.

It wouldn't be a TORQ Gorrick event without the great TORQ prizes and premium Four4th Lights trophies given out at the podium gatherings, and everyone loves dropping their number board into the killer prize draw bin, which gives all riders a chance of a great spot prize too.

Although there won't be camping at the venue, if you are travelling a fair distance then Little Bramshot Farm Camping (contact 01252 810400) is adjacent to the venue.

Start Times will be:

9.50am all 3 hour riders - presentations 1.30pm

10am all 9 hour riders - presentations 7.30pm

1pm all 6 hour riders - presentations 7.30pm

So get Sunday 5 May in your diaries now and get planning. Do you go for a 3hr sprint, team up with a buddy for 6 hrs or plan a team to tackle the 9 hrs head on - it's your call...

The first 50 riders to enter will also get a free event t shirt, so make sure you add your size when you enter. (Now all taken)

As with previous TORQ events, Pairs and Teams can be entered with just a lead rider, and the other riders don't need to be finally confirmed until the day of the event. Your category is defined by your age on 5 May 2024.
