On Saturday 19th April (Easter weekend) Peckham BMX Club will be hosting the first ever race event at the track featuring six local radio DJs and BMX riders to compete to win the BMX Radio Challenge trophy.

The BMX event day is open for riders all ages and abilities. We have free taster sessions at three times throughout the day where 15 riders will be able to get on a BMX bike every 15 minutes. Depending on BMX skills riders will be either guided to the track straight away or, for novice riders, continue to ride in the assessment area being coached by our qualified staff.

In addition to riding on the track for FREE from 10am to 5pm, the first 100 riders to register from 10am on Saturday 19^th April be given a free London BMX snapback hat.

DJs from these six local radio stations will also be racing – LightningFM.co.uk (90.8 FM), LondonliveFM.co.uk (103.0 FM), OnTopFM.net (95.5 FM), SDanceLive.com (96.1FM), VibesFM.net (93.7 FM), WeareBANG.com (103.6FM). The event has been a great topic of conversation with the DJs for the past week, so please tune in to hear them talk about their excitement of being involved in first ever the BMX Radio Challenge trophy.

There will be two more taster sessions during the afternoon so, on arrival, riders are asked to inform the BMX gate supervisor to be allocated a 15 minute time slot, and then go to the information tent to register at the Peckham BMX Club desk.
