Markeaton Park is located on the west side of Derby just off the roundabout of the A38/A52.

Please note that the main entrance to the car park does have a height restriction so high vehicles or cars with bikes on the roof should follow the signs and marshals’ instructions.

PAY FOR YOUR PARKING:
Being a public park there is plenty of parking on site. There is a fee for parking at the venue which can be paid at the payment machines by cash, card or via a phone app. In the past the wardens have been very lively and have often filled their monthly targets on one day so please be aware and make sure you pay! The charge is £5.50 for over 4 hours

Leaders Jerseys:
We can’t wait to see these jerseys in action in the U16 & U14 Open and Female categories. If you are a one of these Series Leaders, come and collect your jersey at the Sign-on Tent.

Conditions:
Nick says ‘The ground should be fully thawed by now, so expect a fair amount of wetness, both from the ground and from the sky - I suggest you bring your jet wash!’

Get your bike prepped and start planning your race now! We can't wait to see you 😀

Deadline Day is on us for entering the East Midlands Regional Championships 2024 hosted by Grity NDCXL at Markeaton Park, Derby.
