Nevis Range Downhill Mini Series 2026 – Round 3

20 Jun

Get ready for Round 3 of the Downhill Mini Series 2026 at Nevis Range! After two thrilling rounds, the series continues with more action, more fun, and more chances for young riders to test their skills on some of our most exciting trails.

This 4-round youth race series is designed to be a supportive, confidence-building introduction to downhill racing. Round 3 is all about letting juniors ride at their own pace, enjoy the atmosphere of a big race weekend, and have a blast on trails suited for every skill level.

Taking place alongside the Downhill Endurance event, this round gives young riders the opportunity to be part of the excitement while still enjoying a relaxed, kid-friendly environment. There’s no pressure, just top trails, great vibes, and the freedom to blaze their own path.

This standalone event won’t overlap with the Downhill Endurance, it’s all about the kids blazing their own trails!

About the Series

This New Downhill Mini Series is all about creating a positive first step into racing. The focus is on fun, progression, and participation helping young riders build confidence, develop skills, and enjoy riding some of Nevis Range’s iconic trails in a supportive race environment.

Whether it’s their first event or they’re already hooked on racing, this series is the perfect way for young riders to get involved.

The series is made up of four rounds, but there’s no pressure to do them all. You’re welcome to enter just one round, pick a couple, or ride three. If you’re aiming for the overall series win, we recommend riding all four — but it’s totally up to you.

This event will take place on our lower bike trails, and no bike uplift is required. Participants will be expected to push up to the Puggy Line.
