For the adults we are going to run two race both races are open for parents to enter. This gives a great opportunity for you to try out cross racing whilst your kids cheer you on. The first race will be aimed at novice riders and is a great opportunity for anyone to come along and try out cyclocross racing. This event if firmly focused on the fun element and as such the race will have no medals, you just have the kudos of taking part.

The second race is the official Santa Cross Adult race, this race is where those who want to take it a bit more serious can race but the emphasis is still on having fun.

For all races getting into the spirit and showing your festive spirit is actively encouraged so dig out your finest festive outfits and get ready to join in the fun. Your position on the grid may be defined by the level of Christmas spirit you bring with you. As always this is a fun event where we encourage participants to come along give it a go, get muddy and have a good laugh with their club mates. You can ride any bike you like as long as it isn’t an e-bike and it is in a safe working condition. We also ask that you remove any mudguards and pannier racks etc for the safety of other riders.
