RHL to run Easter Motocross Championship

British Motocross Championship British Youth Nationals Culham

TMX hinted at it last week and now RHL Activities has confirmed that it will be running a British Motocross Championship Festival over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend at Culham MX Park in Oxfordshire.

The three-day festival running from March 30 to April 1 will incorporate the opening round of the Judd Racing British Youth Nationals with round two of the Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship supported by Pro Clean.

The man behind the innovative programme the first time the two series have been combined at the same circuit is Gareth Hockey, Director of BYN promoter RHL Activities.

"For me this is something I have wanted to do with RHL for a number of years since we ran the Handlebar Festival in 2009 which saw the likes of Jeffrey Herlings competing," he said.

"With the support of the ACU we are looking forward to the very first British Motocross Championship Festival.

"The team and myself are already busy working away on plans for the event whilst beginning conversations with manufacturers and the industry. I can definitely say it will be an event no-one will want to miss."

While the racing will obviously take centre stage, there will be virtually non-stop entertainment across the weekend with a kids zone offering try-outs on quads and pushbikes, demonstrations with off-road activities and much more.

With RHL Activities vast experience in running major events including the HydroGarden Weston Beach Race, the company is preparing a very special weekend in collaboration with the ACU.

Hockey is passionate about expanding the sport by attracting new blood into motocross and RHL is currently running a number of initiatives with schools which highlight the job opportunities within the industry and provide access to key people within RHL.

"With RHL Activities expertise in organising events and the support from those competing in the championships," added Hockey, "we can hopefully turn this one-of-a-kind weekend into an annual occasion."

Further announcements about the British Motocross Championship Festival will be made soon. For more information go to RHL Activities.
