Beach racing is a motorsport offshoot of enduro and motocross racing. As the name implies, riders on solo motorcycles, quad bikes, or sidecar combinations compete on a course marked out on a beach, often with man made jumps and sand dunes being constructed to make the course tougher. Beach races are usually held annually, generally at seaside resorts with large beaches. Typically, beach races follow the format of hare scrambles, with riders competing on a circuit of 1–3 miles (1.5–5 km) in length, usually for a time period of 1–3 hours.

  • La cursa de platja (en anglès, Beach race ) és una modalitat esportiva derivada de les curses de motocròs, a mig camí d'aquesta disciplina i de l'enduro. Els participants competeixen en solitari amb motocicleta o quad, o bé per parelles amb sidecar, en un traçat marcat en un platja, sovint amb salts artificials i dunes de sorra amuntegada expressament per tal de fer més difícil el circuit.

  • La cursa de platja (en anglès, Beach race ) és una modalitat esportiva derivada de les curses de motocròs, a mig camí d'aquesta disciplina i de l'enduro. Els participants competeixen en solitari amb motocicleta o quad, o bé per parelles amb sidecar, en un traçat marcat en un platja, sovint amb salts artificials i dunes de sorra amuntegada expressament per tal de fer més difícil el circuit. Les curses de platja s'acostumen a disputar anualment, generalment a balnearis o localitats d'estiueig de costa amb grans platges, especialment als Països Baixos, Bèlgica, nord de França i Anglaterra. Típicament, les curses de platja segueixen el format del Hare Scramble, amb els pilots competint en un circuit d'1,5 a 5 quilòmetres de longitud, generalment durant un període d'una a tres hores.

  • Beach racing is a motorsport offshoot of enduro and motocross racing. As the name implies, riders on solo motorcycles, quad bikes, or sidecar combinations compete on a course marked out on a beach, often with man made jumps and sand dunes being constructed to make the course tougher. Beach races are usually held annually, generally at seaside resorts with large beaches. Typically, beach races follow the format of hare scrambles, with riders competing on a circuit of 1–3 miles (1.5–5 km) in length, usually for a time period of 1–3 hours. Due to their unique nature, beach races tend to be very popular with riders and spectators, with some of the larger races attracting several hundred riders. However beach racing is known to be very tough on motorcycles, small sand particles can damage wheel bearings, chains and sprockets, and the soft, sandy surface increases the demand on engines and clutches. Experienced beach racers typically follow meticulous bike maintenance prior to the event in order to ensure their bike will not fail. Beach races are generally held in early spring or late autumn. This is because seasonal tourist trade at seaside resorts is low during these periods, there is more space for riders and competitors to park, and local authorities are more willing to allow their beaches to be closed off and used as a motorcycle course, due to the extra trade brought by riders, families and spectators.

  • Een strandrace of ook wel beach race is snelheidswedstrijd op het strand. Een strandrace kan gehouden worden of op alleen het zand van het strand of als men strand in de bredere zin neemt alsook in de duinen. Met de Engelse term Beach race kunnen ook diverse sporten op het water bij het strand worden bedoeld. De meest bekende en wijdverspreide strandraces zijn die met motorfietsen. Vroeger werden op het harde strand van Daytona normale racemotoren gebruikt, tegenwoordig wordt er zoals in Frankrijk (Saint-Malo en Le Touquet) met crossmachines gereden. In Nederland werden strandraces georganiseerd door Bob de Jong samen met de omroep Veronica vanaf 1980. De eerste 11 races werden in Scheveningen gehouden, de 12e in Hoek van Holland. Op 12 november 2006 werd er opnieuw in Scheveningen een strandrace verreden onder de naam "Red Bull Knock Out". De gemeente Den Haag en Red Bull hebben een samenwerkingscontract gesloten voor drie nieuwe "Red Bull Knock Out" edities, namelijk voor 2018, 2020 en 2022. (nl)
