Who can race?

Racing in the dark is real fun experance the race is for Proficient mountain bikers with a high skill level who can ride the steeper downhill stretches and much more challenging technical features of Llandegla. if your 15 or over have a mountain bike, good lights and a helmet then you can race.

The guys at One Planet Adventure and Tillhill who operate the forest have waved the hire fee for the race so the entry fee is only £30 including online entry fee.
The fee does not include the car parking fee as a lot of local riders already have season tickets or will come with more than 1 rider in car so you will have to pay for parking at the race.
