Revolve24, the unique cycling event that sees riders race laps of a circuit around the clock, will be returning to the iconic Brands Hatch race circuit on 14-15 September 2019.

Next year will be the fifth edition of Revolve24 as the format continues to grow in popularity. The main 24 Hour Challenge will be back, which is open to soloists, duos and teams of four, six or eight - with male, female and mixed categories.

A shorter 12 Hour Challenge (soloists, duos and teams of four) will also return, while on the Sunday morning the circuit will welcome the 6 Hour Challenge to the track (soloists and duos).

How many laps of Brands Hatch can you complete in 24 hours? It's not as flat as you'd expect!

Sportive.com entered a team in the mixed 8s back in 2016 and had a blast, finishing with a respectable 186 laps (727km). You can read our bleary-eyed recollections of the race here:

Although there is a competitive element to Revolve24 - it attracts international calibre endurance athletes each year - it's also an exceptionally friendly, accessible event with a real feeling of camaraderie in the shared garages and pit lane.

Organisers Vicki and Huw and their staff welcome all levels of cyclists, from those chasing prizes, to the many riders aiming to raise money for charity and those who have personal challenges.

"This year's event was a huge success," say the organisers, "we had a record number of over 900 cyclists on the super smooth Grand prix track over the weekend!"

This year's edition saw a total number of 23,754 laps completed, amounting to 57,793 miles and 171 Everests. Eleven riders qualified for the Race Across America (RAAM) endurance race, while thousands of pounds were raised for charities including Breast Cancer Care.

Entries for 2019 are now on sale with a special Super Early Bird Discount of 18% on offer until 31 October 2018. To take advantage of the discount you can register here.

If you're bringing a couple of teams (or perhaps joining up with a rival firm/club or two for the challenge) you can also hire exclusive use of a garage with bespoke branding and capacity for up to twenty riders.
