Heckington boasts possibly the oldest grass track cycling event in the country, if not the World!

"I love this show its amazing so much for everyone all ages to do and see"

Celebrating Grass Track Cycle Racing at Heckington Show!

Our records show that the first cycle race was held at Heckington Show in 1869. We think that this makes Heckington the oldest bike race in the UK, if not the world!

A part of the National Endurance Grass Track League, this year we are hosting the following events:

YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP

The traditional Youth GoRide Club Championship will open proceedings, which will be open to all riders from all clubs, with the aim of getting more kids into the sport. Teams of 4 riders across all youth age cats, will compete in 4 events to accumulate points, with the top 3 teams on the day taking home the prizes. Events on the day will be 1 lap Sprint, Keirin, Elimination and Scratch. Clubs can enter multiple teams, or we can help make composite teams from the other riders.

SENIOR RACES

The senior events will include rounds for the National Grass League Series, with support from all your favourite events, Handicap, Mile, Elimination and 800m. There will be prizes for all podium positions in all races, with the best combined rides across all events taking home the Victor and Vitrix Ludorum Trophies

Youth Cycling - Go Ride

Each year we hold an inter-club championship for Lincolnshire clubs registered as Go-ride clubs with British Cycling. Teams of 6 riders compete in 7 events, scoring points in each event.
Come along again this year and support your local team.

There may be a future Chris Hoy or Vicky Pendleton out there - and you could see them first at Heckington!
