CANADA HEIGHTS hosts the Multi-MX British Motocross Championships this Sunday.

The event will see sidecars, four-strokes and under-21s compete at the famous track near Swanley and feature the very best riders in the country competing in their respective classes.

Last year’s championship at the spectacular Kent circuit was breathtakingly exciting, with two of the classes going to the last round before being decided and one of those to the very last race.

The Canada Heights track is extremely rugged and demanding, with numerous obstacles designed to bring out the best in the young riders.

It is a track that is greatly revered by spectators, who attend in large numbers to get close to the action.

Fans will be able to wander freely around the pit area and watch the teams and riders prepare for racing.

There will be plenty of flat parking space at the track for no charge, and a variety of food and drink on offer as well as a number of trade stands.

Canada Heights, in Button Street near Swanley, is clearly signposted from the M25/A20 Swanley interchange.

Admission is £10 for adults and £5 for OAPs, with accompanied children going free. Camping will be permitted from Friday afternoon onwards, for no extra charge.

The action gets under way on Sunday, with open practice at 9.30am and the first race staring at noon.
