Gorrick races are open events for all abilities riding mountain bikes, no club membership or licence is required. Enter and pay online or download the appropriate Entry Form to enter in advance. This assures your place on the start line, and means you only have to collect your race number board from Entry Express at the event. You also save money by not having to pay the on-the-day surcharge. Please note however, that pre-entries for every event, whether online or by post, will close on the Tuesday preceding the day of the event as that is when they are processed. Any entries received after that date will be retained at Race Registration and will be subject to an additional on the day charge before a number is issued.
