Beastway is Britain's longest running weekly MTB series. We are the best midweek blast whether you want to race seriously or just for fun. Our courses change for each round as we mix in new challenges and old favourites around the trails we developed over the last nine years. Hog Hill has fantastic sunsets and great views across East London into The City. Racing everyone together is a great way to learn your race craft as a young rider among seniors and then to enjoy seeing others come through. - Lots of friendly rivalry and race camaraderie all round. Good cakes, coffee and showers in the purpose-built pavilion too (subject to COVID regulations).

u12 riders always get a shorter course which is suitable for a wide range of ages from 7 and up, but which doesn't patronise the fastest.

Youth and juveniles normally race in with the seniors, starting around 15-20 minutes later.

Women are particularly welcome at all our races and we will ask about your gridding preference. (We shouldn't need to say this...)

With eleven rounds in the series, it's your best NINE scores which count. Our unique and highly prized trophies are always sought after, though none more than those that were made by Turner prize-winning artist Grayson Perry one year.

Our race entry fees are the best value, friendly and competitive races around. Pre-entry has always saved you money, but now it's the only way to enter too. There is NO ENTRY ON THE DAY.

The pavilion will be open for toilets and rider check-in, plus lockers (£1 coin returned after use). Food and drink from the cafe.

We are always on the lookout for helpers to join in with running our races. Please let us know if you have a friend or supporter that otherwise might spectate and we can hand them something to do. beastway'at'btinternet.com is the contact to sort this out, which we must do in advance. Thank you for thinking of helping run your races.
If you want to marshal any week instead of racing, we will refund your advance entry fee and give you series points averaged to what you scored at other rounds.

In the u12 races, we expect the parents will want to help.

And when we're done for this series, look out for our other events such as Tour of the Cornfields on 4 Sept. It's 100km off-road around S Cambs, N Herts, Huntingdonshire and Bedfordshire. We're also organising the Summer Cyclocross series in London and more.

Info for Riders

This is the first of our Wednesday races and you can still enter the series after clicking 'Enter' on your category. Senior riders (18-39yrs) are always 'Sport' unless it says 'Expert' or 'Elite' MTB on your licence.

We have an u10 and u12 race before the main start. This should be finished by 19.10, which means you should just about have time to get a practice lap before the main start at 19:30. Youth and juveniles of suitable standard will be called to their start at around 19:50. Racing ends around 20:30.

We will leave online pre-entry open until Tuesday.
