Are you ready for Skeggy?
By Beth Hoggarth on 25th Oct 17
As always, the event remains totally free for spectators and provides plenty of thrill- packed entertainment for the whole family from the safety of the recently refurbished promenade and pier.
The event attracts riders from far and wide and its reputation for being one of the toughest beach races in the UK has proved a strong draw for motocross and enduro riders with over 300 competitors expected to descend on Skegness.
The weekend kicks off on Saturday at 10.30am with a 90-minute Clubman solo race followed by a two-hour combined Quads and Sidecars battle. Then on Sunday at 11.30am its the epic three-hour gruelling main solo race with over 200 riders racing for the 1,000 winners cheque.
