Malvern Cycle Sport Off-road Race Series (Round 1)

MTB XC , Nr. Malvern – Wednesday, 24 May 2023

Event Summary

Event Overview

MCS Off-road Race Series (Round 1)

A community organised, grass roots racing event, open to all riders but absolutely perfect for those new to competitive off-road cycling.  A friendly, welcoming atmosphere awaits and spectators are welcome (though bring a chair!).

Entries online in advance are preferred, though there will be a limited number of on the day entries available. Please note, is the 4-7 ride is pre-book only, no entries on the day.

The Junior Race Skills and Fun Ride session is coach led by our fantastic volunteer team and is aimed at younger riders who can already ride a bike but are looking to develop their off-road skills maybe ready for future racing.

For the two races, riders will race over a mix of woodland and meadow trails.  The course will change slightly for each round, but will be designed with an XC mountain bike in mind.  It will also be fine on a gravel bike or CX bike unless very wet.  Please note the course for the younger riders will be shorter and flatter than the course for the 14+ race.  Each racer will be issued a timing chip so that lap times and results can be shared after the event.

Please note that under 18s remain the responsibility of their parents throughout the event.

In the event of very wet weather, please note this event may be cancelled at short notice if the parking is unusable.
