I raced the 2026 Dorset Divide; a 550km ultra cycling race around Dorset in the South of the UK. The course is a mix of gravel and road and has over 8,000m elevation. Safe to say – it was pretty hard.
I wanted to put together this video to tell the story of the race, how I found it, and what I think about Ultra Racing!
Big thanks to Harry Whiles @dorsetdivide for organising the race, and the photographers Paisley Banks & Eddy Pearce for their images. Thanks also to @Restrapltd for their support.
Cheers,
Ollie

Thanks for watching this race recap of the 2026 Dorset Divide! It was pretty hard, but I'm chuffed to have got round it in one piece.
Thanks so much to Restrap for their support, and Laura for scooping me up and driving me home afterwards.
Cheers,
Ollie
