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!

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!
