This year’s theme, , reflects our commitment to creating opportunities for women within motorcycle sport. As the governing body of the sport in the UK, we have a duty to give our athletes a platform to perform and recognise everyone who works hard to make these championships possible.

In 2025, the ACU introduced four new Official British Champions specifically for women, including the ACU British Flat Track and MXGB Women’s titles. Trials also took a milestone step as the ACU Ladies and Girls Trials Championship amalgamated with TrialGB, introducing two official women’s categories within the TrialGB Championship, with a further Trial3 category added for women this year. Plus an official Women’s category in our 🙌

With women’s participation in the sport stronger than ever, together we give athletes the platform they deserve and gain incredible champions who inspire the next generation.

Follow our championships and their champions & support all those who make it possible for them to happen. trialgb : &

🚨Trials etiquette guidelines published ahead of 2026 season🚨

As part of its work to ensure attendance at Auto-Cycle Union-permitted motorcycle events is enjoyable for all, TrialGB organisers have published guidance around 'Trials etiquette' ahead of the 2026 season.

The guidelines have been written to ensure experienced and novice riders know what's expected of them when they're competing, while some of the notes also apply to spectators that may be at an event as a team member or in their own right.

The content gives practical advice on topics that include the process for entering an event, how to prepare properly, what is expected while an event is running, conduct on competitive sections, being aware of other land users, and the threat posed by illegal practising.

The guidance has been published on the TrialGB website and can be viewed here [https://acutrialgb.org.uk/trials-etiquette].

Sam Connor, TrialGB Series Manager, said: "After a strong 2025 season, the TrialGB and Youth championships are both in a really good place and we want to make sure we continue to build on that positivity by helping people to understand the etiquette that's central to the success of our sport.

"If we can gently remind riders and spectators about certain guidelines that are in place, everyone associated with the event will have a positive experience that's befitting of the sport we all love.”
