Battle of the Schools (BOTS) is the premier track cycling event for Schools in 2025, kindly sponsored by Plus Mortgage Trust, and is designed to suit beginners through to more experienced riders. 

PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE CHANGED THE DATE to Sunday 13th April to accommodate NSS Road Racing.

Battle of the Schools is an epic team building challenge for kids (age 10 and up) to compete in. It includes a fun 6-week course with our excellent coaches helping your team to get ready for race day, all whilst completing your accreditation and having fun with your friends. Race day is when all the training comes into play and you battle it out on the track with a great crowd, food, music and spot prizes.

For accredited and non accredited riders age 10-19 years old.

All details regarding the BOTS event can be found in the downloadable info pack.
