The Bolly Skyline is a mountain-bike enduro founded in the Peak District town of Bollington — “Bolly” to locals, in Cheshire. Inspired by the ridges and peaks that frame the town, it’s a celebration of sport, community and the great outdoors, and it runs 9–11 July 2027.
Two ways to race: the Bolly Full covers 25–30 km with around 800–1,000 m of climbing across 8 timed stages, racing on Saturday 10 July after Friday’s practice. The Bolly Half is 15–20 km with 500–600 m of elevation over 5 timed stages, racing on Sunday 11 July with practice the day before.
Stages are handcrafted for all abilities, so riders of every level get the best of Bollington’s trails. Come for the racing and stay for the festival: the Hub is open from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon, with live music on the Friday and Saturday evenings, daytime entertainment, kids’ activities, shuttles to the spectator areas, and plenty of food and drink. Camping opens Thursday 8 July and closes Monday 12 July at 4pm.
At its heart the Bolly Skyline is about community — “grins not wins”. Everyone is welcome, whatever your ability or background, and competitors don’t need a Hub pass to race. Bring the family, set up camp, and find your way out on the ridge line.
