Accessible racing

Racing for all.

North Yorkshire is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. If you've energy left over after your event, there's sublime options for hiking and cycling in the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors. Only a short distance away is the charming city of York. Attracting visitors from the world over, why not take the opportunity to explore the cobbled streets and vibrant culture.

Two of the biggest challenges we face are our health and the health of our planet. Castle Race Series is committed to tackling these challenges so that we can race together long into the future.
