The Filthy Foxes Dirty Weekend is a chance for women to jump on their bikes or throw on their trainers and enjoy the beautiful trails of Newnham park without testosterone fuelled shouts of ‘On your right!’ ruining the fun. 

A weekend ticket (for the 4th and 5th May) will set you back £40, and in return you can spend 2 days getting filthy in Newnham Park, taking part in a host of activities and leaving your husband/boyfriend putting up the tent and looking after the kids.

The main attractions:

Mountain bike event (15km and 25km options)
5km trail run
Outdoor circuits
Runner V Rider hill challenge
Mountain bike skills sessions
Mountain bike maintenance seminars
Coached rides of the event loop

Supporting activities:

Specialized women’s demo bikes
Skills area
Elite athlete Q+A
Under 12s races (girls and boys)
Support races (we’re thinking along the lines of a cake eating challenge dressing up obstacle races)
Free camping for competitors and their families
DVD sessions and other activities for kids

All this is included in your weekend ticket, and the timetable will ensure that you can do every activity if you want to.

The mountain bike loop will be 5km long and will be beginner friendly.  There will be one long hill, plenty of enjoyable singletrack, and one long flowing descent.  After each lap you will return to the start finish area to be cheered on by supporters, and to refuel.

Mountain bike hire will also be available for anyone who does not have their own (pre-booking only).
