Beechwood Billycart Classic

Beechwood Billycart Classic The Beechwood Billycart Classic is a fun event for all ages, with high-speed races down Mt. Pappinbarra.

Catering for both advanced racers and kids, this family-friendly day with, crafts and live entertainment, making it perfect for a family outing. The Beechwood Billycart Classic is a great fun day for both adults and kids. The billycart races cater for 100kph speedsters racing down Mt Pappinbarra, veterans and kids’ races, set in the relaxed village atmosphere of Beechwood. Besides the billycart ra

ces, there are stalls, horse rides, jumping castle, barbeques, and of course the hospitality of the Beechwood Hotel. Started in 1980, the 5km adult’s course attracts entries from far and wide, with the top racers exceeding 100kph! Since there are a couple of small uphill sections, billycarts for the Classic are unique in the world, in that they are two-person. One does the driving, whilst the other – the ‘Co-Driver’ – needs a fit pair of legs to keep the power up when gravity’s working against them. Children do a much shorter downhill-only course down the main street of Beechwood, but since its only a gentle decline, they use a ‘Co-Driver’ too!

🏁 Local Collaboration 🏁

The Beechwood Billycart Derby is all about celebrating community, and this year we’re proud to be partnering with the Beechwood P&C Association.

Together, we’re making the day extra special for the kids. The P&C have some fun surprises planned and will also be running a cake stall out the front of the post office to raise funds for their important work.

On top of that, every entry fee from the Junior Races will be donated directly to the P&C, making sure the day isn’t just about racing, but about giving back to the community that makes it possible.

💚 And keep an eye out, we’ll also be dropping some exclusive kids’ merch soon so the little ones can join in the Derby spirit in style!

🙌 A big thank you to everyone involved, your support helps keep the Billycart Derby such a highlight on the local calendar.
