Rogate Resurgence Downhill Race

Rogate Resurgence Downhill Race

UPDATE: Due to recent snowfall the race was cancelled on Feb 5th and has now been re-scheduled for the 4th March.

 

It’s been over 10yrs since the last official race at Rogate and in that space of time the site has been threatened with closure, clear-felling and numerous other hurdles.

Over the last 18 months the CTC, FC and Rogate Downhill Committee have come together forming a partnership to save the site and help to move it forward. To celebrate bringing Rogate back from the brink of death and it’s new found lease of life we’ve teamed up with Cycle Life Petersfield to put on a race!

So… The date to put in your diaries is Sunday 5th February:
Sign on 8am – 11am
Practice 8am – 12pm
1st Race Run – 12:30pm

The track won’t be announced till the weekend of the race and will be a mixture of some of the best bits of the hill. No official Saturday practice but of course your more than welcome to come along and pay the standard day rate and get some practice in before race day.

Cycle Life Petersfield will be providing some great prizes to the winners as well as having their stand set up on the day to provide you all with plenty of spares and help out with any repairs.

    Online entry is now full. There will be a maximum of 50 entries open on the day on a first come, first served basis.
    Should be a great day so come down and show your support, and grab some awesome Thai grub whilst you’re at it.
