Racing, events & uplifts
GENERAL INFORMATION
A classic downhill race weekend. A full day of practice on Saturday with uplift on a marshalled track with medical team on standby. Then a further two hours practice on Sunday morning followed by two allocated timed runs for each rider.
We welcome all riders from 13 years upwards. Our courses are designed to both be challenging for elite riders as well as allowing novice riders to get down safely with a smile on their faces. You can use a downhill, enduro or trail bike of your choice to compete on.
Entry limited to 330 riders.

We recommend not to solely rely on SatNav.
Camping
There is camping available on site. The road from Llangynog is a single track road, but is passable for caravans and motorhomes. We have use of a large flat field adjacent to the finish arena for camping. Toilets will be on-site from Friday. There is no mains water supply, so make sure you are self-sufficient. Our caterers will sell bottled water.
ENTRY
We offer two types of account on our website. A 'Shopper Only' account will allow you to purchase from the website, but doesn't allow you to book any events. If you wish to book onto our uplifts, demo days and race series you will need a Shopper & Rider account. This does require us to hold a small amount of additional information about yourself including date of birth and emergency contact details. If you need to, you can change the account type in your account profile page > edit profile.
