Falkirk Funduro takes place in Falkirk, Central Scotland in late November.  It's that time of year when it gets pretty chilly, is dark by 4pm and everyone moans about the nights drawing in and we LOVE it because it's Night Riding season!

Boasting one of the best novice-friendly Mountain Bike trails networks in Scotland, the event takes place on Callendar Estate, which is situated within a stone’s throw of Scotland’s main population centres, making it the perfect venue for a family-friendly Funduro with it’s easy-going trails and on-site restaurant and state-of-the-art bike shop.

The event kicks off in the Greenrig Bike Park with bike racing for under 6 Balance Bikers and Pedal Bikers.

Later in the morning, slightly bigger riders aged 6 to 11 can race in their very own multi stage Mini Funduro!  With real chip-timing and up to four timed stages on green-graded trails (suitable for 16″+ wheels) this is undoubtedly THE most fun race your child will ever have within a “race” environment.  Each timed stage is connected by an untimed transition and parents can chaperone their kids around the course and see them race first hand if they wish, but if you are happy with your child racing without a Chaperone, that’s fine too.

Next we have the main race; open to riders aged 12+, riders can choose between “Day Only” or “Day & Night” racing on some of Callendar Estate’s gnarlier trails.  We have lined-up four timed stages taking in everything from flowing Blue trails with berms and rollers, to all-natural descents with roots, rock gardens and medium-sized drop-offs.  Most stages are a bit more pedally than your average Enduro so it’s the perfect opportunity to bring out your Hardtails and short travel bikes and stamp your authority over those burly Enduro bikes.

Come on winter, show us what you’ve got!
