What is Beach Racing?

Beach racing is a motorsport offshoot of enduro and motocross racing. As the name implies, riders on solo motorcycles, quad bikes, or sidecar combinations compete on a course marked out on a beach, often with man made jumps and sand dunes being constructed to make the course tougher.

Beach races are usually held annually, generally at seaside resorts with large beaches. Typically, beach races follow the format of hare scrambles, with riders competing on a circuit of 1–4 miles (1.5–6 km) in length, usually for a time period of 1–3 hours depending on the class.

Due to their unique nature, beach races tend to be very popular with riders and spectators, with some of the larger races attracting several hundred riders and hundreds of thousands of spectators.

The UK's Biggest Beach Race is the Weston Beach Race which is set to take place on September 22nd to 24th in 2023.
