Rental of kit and bikes will not be available at this event, but we hope to offer
this at future events.
The programme runs across two days:
Saturday 16th May is dedicated to women-only training, focused on building confidence, improving technique and strengthening core riding skills.
Sunday 17th May is a fun and friendly trials competition with routes accessible to all.
In addition to rider development, Kickstart also includes covering key non-riding roles such as observing, officiating and event support, helping increase women’s participation across all areas of the sport.
Open to both complete beginners and experienced riders, Kickstart aims to grow the sport and build a strong, inclusive community of women in motorcycle trials. You are free to choose whether to enter on both days or only one.
To register for the event go to Sport80!
