It’s official! Darwin’s International Women’s Day off-road moto event, proudly supported by the Northern Territory Government and hosted by DMCC will be held on Saturday 5th March 2022. It will be held alongside Thumpers scrutineering. What an epic way to kick off the race season!!
This is a free community event open to all. Women and girls, this is a free ride day where you’ll get to experience some track time and try your hand at a few simulated races, in a supportive, friendly environment. There will be experienced riders on hand to walk you through tips and tricks and help you with whatever you need.
We’ve had so many offers of bikes and gear to loan out, so if you don’t have a bike that’s no problem, come on down and we’ll get you going on two wheels.
Fellas, you can also support this event by coming along to show your support. Bring the women and girls in your life and let’s all celebrate an inclusive moto community with equal participation and visibility for all!
We will have a free community BBQ, with some epic prizes to raffle off, raising money for the Dawn House Women’s Shelter.
DMCC members, we need your help too! Come along to share your expertise with female riders and show the community what a cool and welcoming community this is, and what an epic sport off-road motorcycling is for everyone! If you have a spare bike and gear you don’t mind someone borrowing for a few hours it would be great to bring this along to allow riders who don’t have all the gear to be able to participate too (DM me if you do).
Location details will be confirmed soon. It will be at the same location as Thumpers scrutineering.
I will post up a registration link in the coming days, so keep an eye out!
The theme for International Women’s Day 2022 is . I can’t think of a better way to smash through stereotypes, celebrate the women and girls in our community and show any riders who might be contemplating trying their hand at racing what a supportive and inclusive community we are. Happy International Women’s Day 2022!
