About this route

This route was designed by the organisers of the Kentish Killer, run by Flamme Rouge Events, not by London Dynamo.

Sportive routes change from year to year, and this page uses the distances and climbing published by the organisers. Event details are on the Kentish Killer site.

On the route

The Kentish Killer starts and finishes at Brands Hatch in Kent. The organisers say the 2027 route takes in well known climbs and cols including Row Dow, Bayleys, Ide, Carters and Sundridge.

The event sits alongside Hell of the Ashdown at the start of the cycling season. Riders who finish both call it doing the double.

The route measures 107.4km with 1,963m of climbing, which gives it a Terrain label of Challenging. Its notable climbs are listed below.

This is the provisional route. The organisers have not yet published the 2027 route, and we will check again from time to time.

This page is for riding the route outside the sportive, on your own or with friends. There are no organised feed stops, so plan your food and water for the day.
