If you were to pick one pro rider who you think would do well, potentially win @BattleBeach, who would it be? Who is fast enough, crazy enough and skilled enough to challenge for the win? With several pros entered… instagram.com/p/B7_UwXPl1j2/…

Entries are selling faster than they have in any previous year, as we wake up and find that 75% of entries are already sold!

Happy New Year! ENTRIES OPEN!! ** GO GO GO ** (Don't forget the camping changes for 2020) ow.ly/o6LD50xKRIG

The first big race begins at midnight tonight. Entries open just as the New Year begins. Limited places available and likely to sell out very quickly, so don't miss out if you want to take part.

Plans are in place to make the entertainment even better than before. Expect more live music Saturday and great Samba action to get you pumped up for the crazy mass start! @ Pembrey Country Park instagram.com/p/B6pxDl1FWx2/…

@JohnClimber There is a small reduction, £40 entry. But camping is now different as we can not include it as standard. Full info online.

@BattleBeach How much has it gone up to in 2020 please?

Merry Christmas! The countdown to the big day has begun. January 1st is BOTB day! #battleonthebeach #botb #botb2020

@stuart73g Same day every year - January 1st. Entries open the second the New Year starts!

What big names might grace the start line in 2020? In 2018 we were proud to have Paris-Roubaix & TDF Stage winner Magnus Bäckstedt lined up beside his daughter Zöe who finished an incredible 3rd in Open Female. Olympian Nick Craig also started this year, finishing 5th overall.

How many stars have you earned? Do we have many people who will have a big no.6? At the last count less than 50 riders had completed every single Battle on the Beach!

@lars_boom Come over to Wales next April if you want to take part in a beach race with a difference. Big prize purse and always won by Dutch riders!

Today I was defending my Europe champ jersey on the beach. But it was not a success. Did not have the legs today to do a good result. Time for some rest and in januari start the year in a good way. @ Dunkirk instagram.com/p/B6GsCr8l4qQ/…

** BIG NEWS ** Fancy yourself as a Battle on the Beach winner? Think you have what it takes to beat Bram Imming or Harriet Harnden? For 2020 the prize purse is increasing to £1000 for each winner! Is it the biggest prize purse for any single day cycling event in the UK?

Camping & parking on site at Pembrey Country Park is changing for next year. Campsite booking for those looking to stay on the on-site camping site (not event camping) is open to book from Wednesday 18th December. Early booking strongly recommended. Full info in our bio.

One change for 2020 will be a longer lap distance. Using new trails within Pembrey forest it will remain a 3 lap (or 2 lap option) with the 3rd lap being different to avoid traffic issues as much as possible. Of… instagram.com/p/B6I-_3vlN7Z/…

With some well known riders looking to enter the 2020 event, could we see the first ever British overall men's winner? Over the next 2 weeks we will be giving an update on what to expect at 2020 event on April… instagram.com/p/B6BuI-hl0DK/…

Not just a beach race. And for 2020 we will have new sections and a longer lap to make it even more fun. #botb #battleonthebeach @ Pembrey Country Park instagram.com/p/B47nbXYl973/…
