Weston Beach Race promoter RHL Activities, partnering with North Somerset Council, has announced the event’s return on 1-3 October this year — to celebrate its 38th anniversary following cancellation last year owing to the pandemic.
A firm favourite for riders, trade participants and spectators, Weston offers a challenging 7km bulldozed sand course featuring a 2km start straight. This hosts a veritable legion of motocross and enduro stars, plus lots of less-talented enthusiasts to provide comedy entertainment. The rider entry system is now live on RHL’s website, as is ticket availability for the event, working within Covid restrictions.
“It’s been a long wait,” said RHL Activities director Gareth Hockey. “However, we are in final preparations for the race. As you can imagine with the pandemic, a lot of work has gone into getting the go-ahead and I would like to thank North Somerset Council for its continued support. I hope to see you all there in October.”
North Somerset Council executive member Mark Canniford added: “After such a difficult year for the events industry, we’re delighted to see the beach race returning for its 38th year. As well as being a fantastic spectacle, it provides a welcome boost for local businesses at what can often be a quiet time of year.”
More announcements will be made in the coming weeks via the Weston Beach Race Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, as well as online at www.rhlactivities.com.
