Nevis Range Downhill Mini Series 2026 – Round 4

12 Sep

The wait is over! Round 4 of the Downhill Mini Series 2026 is here, and it’s the BIG FINALE at Nevis Range! After three incredible rounds, it’s time for our young riders to shine, take on the challenge, and finish the series in style.

This 4-round youth race series has been all about fun, confidence, and progression — and Round 4 will take it up a notch. With supportive racing, iconic trails, and the thrill of a series finale, juniors will experience the excitement of being part of a major race weekend while still enjoying a relaxed, kid-friendly atmosphere.

Taking place alongside the BDS, this round gives young riders the spotlight to show off their skills, push themselves safely, and celebrate everything they’ve achieved so far. It’s all about great trails, good vibes, and finishing the series on a high note!

This standalone event won’t overlap with the BDS, 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.
