24 Hour Race

The 24 hour race in June after exams is something special.

Every year up to 60 BUKC teams past and present head to Middlesborough for the annual BUKC 24 Hour Race.

Hosted after exams toward the end of June, the 24 hour race is the perfect excuse to forget about uni, get your head down to some serious hardcore endurance racing and chill out with your team mates.

Teams are more than welcome to customise their karts to their heart’s content. In fact it is encouraged. Prizes will be awarded to the teams with the best looking karts 🙂
