FHHV Christmas Classic

Track , London – Saturday, 14 Dec 2024

Event Summary

Event Overview

Join us at Herne Hill for a fun and festive race event to keep your spirits high and racing legs warm during the winter months. Taking place as part of the Friends of Herne Hill Christmas events join us at the track for a couple of exciting prize races:  

- The 12 Laps of Christmas Reverse Win-Out, with great prizes for each lap winner 

- The Christmas Chase Race, riders will be gridded around the track for their starting point with the fastest and most experienced having the longest race, and those with less power having some advantageous laps for free.  There will be no drafting between categories until racers are on the same lap!  A grand and festive prize will be available for the winner.

Entries will be limited in each category so clubs and teams encouraged to put forward their finest racers for the event. Jan's will be open for the event, with hot food, mulled wine and our favourite Bianca Road beers available for spectators and racers after the event.
