2021
UPDATE – The recent surge in coronavirus cases and national lockdown casts doubt on the possibility of running the event on our revised date of Sunday 7th March. We will continue to be optimistic, assess the situation one month before the event and, if necessary, cancel the event at then.
This year’s event has been upgraded to category A status. It will still be the same welcoming, inclusive event – just more! Riders will also receive double national ranking points (compared with a category B event).
Expect the same type of course, with a couple of exciting extras. It’s the perfect event to aim at before a well-earned rest over Christmas. Or, a great opportunity to fine-tune your form before the Kerstperiode!
2019
We had an incredible event in 2019 with…
- An awesome, challenging but accessible course for ALL ages and abilities, combining a sports centre, park and BMX track!
- Trade stands to pick up your last-minute Christmas gifts, including The Marlborough Bike Company, cyclocrossracer.co.uk, and New Champ Socks
- Mulled wine, Belgian beer, coffee, chips, paninis, etc.
- £1,000+ prize list, including random spot prizes
- Free race photos
- Nice showers, changing rooms, toilets
- BMX taster sessions too! (bikes and helmets provided)
