2025 Downhill Round 4 - Redwood Park, Bucknell
GENERAL INFORMATION

EVENT NOW POSTPONED UNTIL 11-12 OCTOBER

 

Friday 3rd October: The latest Met Office update includes a Yellow Warning: Wind which covers the venue for much of Saturday's practise session.  In light of this change and also the higher winds expected we have taken the decision to postpone the event until the following weekend. 

 

All entries will be transferred to the new date.  If you can't make this new date we are offering a full refund - please let us know by Saturday 5.30pm if this is the case. 

 

Spaces are available in all categories for the rescheduled date, book via the Entry tab.

 

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.

 

Cancellation and Refunds:

Please email or call us if you wish to cancel an race entry.  We will issue a refund, less a £10 admin fee for each event needing a refund up to two weeks before the event date. We are unable to issue any refund for cancellations within the two weeks leading up to the event date. Please note your entry is not transferable to another rider.

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.
