Here at MMUFS we put a lot of time and effort into racing, it is a huge part of what the club is all about. MMUFS race teams compete in numerous events against every university in the country. We represent MMU, compete, meet new people and have a generally awesome time, oh and not to forget the “après racing” activities!

We run regular trips to the Chill Factore and Rossigdale dry ski slope for race training, (usually every 2 weeks) Here professional trainers will help you to improve your skiing skills and perfect your skiing technique to a competitive racing level.

BUDS is an national race and freestyle event, held in Edinburgh over a weekend. It entails racing and freestyle events, drinking, a formal meal, nights out and a whole lotta’ fun! Its also a great way to meet and socialise with other universities’ from all over the country, watch some amazing freestylers and race or support MMUFS.

Secondly are the regular Kings events. These are racing events where the race team earn and build up points, which earn MMUFS status - in racing terms. These are day trips and often we get many MMUFS members coming along to support the racers and have a drink or three. MMUFS have a bit of a reputation for being the ‘Banter bus’ university, a reputation we need to withhold!

If your interested in racing give Ella a shout and come along to our race trails! It will be an amazing year. Lets get the MMUFS name out there!!
