SNODSBURY
SCOOT & SCRAMBLE
Next Race Sunday 22nd June 2025. Entries open in the New year
The Snodsbury Scoot and Scramble races were set up in 2022 by a group of friends aiming to raise money for some swings in Upton Snodsbury park. As a not for profit set of events, any money raised goes towards USPRA in maintaining the park facilities and to local charities.
This year we are proud to be supporting the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust, USPRA, alongside Friends of Upton Snodsbury School (FUSS).
