About the Event

The 2023 UCI BMX Racing Challenge World Championships will take place in Scotland for the first time. In 2018 the European Championships took place at the newly built Glasgow BMX Centre where it was a British 1-2 in the Men’s race with Kyle Evans and Kye Whyte making the most of a partisan home crowd. In 2022 the UCI BMX Racing World Cup took place at the same venue, which is now world-renowned for it’s huge and technical jumps and features. BMX Race has grown in popularity amongst sports fans since being added to the Olympic programme in Beijing in 2008. 

Riders will firstly take part in three heats – called motos – which will act as a knockout from which the fastest riders will progress into a series of finals. 8 riders take on the track each race, lining up shoulder to shoulder on the start gate. With four straights and three berms, and plenty of massive jumps to negotiate before they reach the finish line, BMX Racing is a true test of skills, experience and physicality.
