“Delightfully Unique and Riotous Fun!” – Enduro Mountainbike Magazine

It’s that time again, where Farmer Roger sends the cows off on their holidays and removes all the fences, so we can transform Parkhill Farm into a stunning race venue!

The Eliminator Mountain Bike Festival finishes off the Summer holidays in the same way our other festival Cream o’ the Croft kicks it off….with a bang!  Although both festivals share many of the same traits such as; family-friendly camping and glamping, beer festival, MTB racing for all ages, delicious food, live music and super-fun festival activities, there is nothing quite like The Eliminator.  Described by Enduro Mountainbike Magazine as; “A highlight on the Scottish racing calendar” The Eliminator is undoubtedly the most spectacularly bonkers mountain bike event known to man (or cow).

The eliminator

Our 2018 line-up is so packed we can’t fit it all in here but you can be assured there’s something for everyone!  When it comes to Mountain Bike racing we have all bases covered with a Cross-Country Eliminator tournament for the short-course whippets, an off-road Duathlon (The Muckathlon) for the more endurance oriented (plus a mini version for the kids) and the one and only “Eliminator Head2Head MTB Race” for anyone who loves riding Mountain Bikes down hills!

For non-racers we have tons of non-biking activities, from Yoga taster sessions to a Mega Water Slide and live music and we even have pre-pitched Hammock and Bell Tent accommodation if you don’t fancy pitching your own tent!  Scroll down for full info or to order your tickets and make sure you follow the Muckmedden social media pages for regular updates!
