ENTRY: This year online pre-entry is available on the MBSA website for discounted multiple TrailTrax entries only, otherwise you just need to turn up and enter on the day of the event with our friendly staff at Event Registration.

IF YOU’RE NEW TO TRAILTRAX our events are fun for beginners as well as challenging for experienced cyclists. You can enter them as a Solo, Pair or Family Group of riders. Full details are on the TrailTrax website here.

Basically the aim is to plan your own route (*SEE BELOW) then navigate and cycle to as many checkpoints as possible in either 2 or 3 hours and collect the highest score. If you do well you may win a prize however many choose to just ride around to a few checkpoints and enjoy the scenery. Whatever you do, you can enjoy some excellent off road cycling on a Sunday morning and then finish for food, drink, socialising and the prize giving in a great pub.

*All entrants receive a waterproof Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 map extract with the checkpoints already marked on it, a sheet giving descriptions of the checkpoint locations and a checkcard for punching which gives the checkpoint values.

Registration is open from 8.30am and Start times are from 8.45 to 10.15am for the 3 hour event, and from 10 to 11 am for the 2 hour schedule. We hope to see you there!
