Grasstrack Racing in the beautiful Lake District as part of the historic Ambleside Sports.

Racing will be from midday with a range of races for men, women and youth riders (fixed wheel track bikes only) including scratch races and handicaps and finishing with the traditional  "Devil Takes the Hindmost" race. One entry fee covers all the adult or youth races. The Sports committee produce an excellent track for us each year and it is hard to imagine a more beautiful arena. 

Come and enjoy this traditional Lakeland Sports day in a beautiful setting just outside Ambleside. In between races you can watch the other events  including fell running and Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling, and of course sample some of the local food and drink. We look forward to welcoming friends old and new to the event.

Racing will begin at noon. Sign on closes at 11.30am. Details of individual races will be circulated in an electronic Race Manual to all riders who pre enter. Adult races will range in length from 500m to 3200m and will be a mix of scratch and handicap races as per the traditional Ambleside schedule. Minor changes to the schedule may be made on the day due to entry numbers etc and as we share the track with a number of athletics events times may vary.
