The Ken Hall Trophy is Europe’s longest running motocross event having last year celebrated its 40th Year. It is held each and every August Bank Holiday weekend when thousands of spectators will make their way to this picturesque corner of Hampshire to the Manor Farm track at Langrish, to witness some of the best and most competitive racing around featuring stars of today, tomorrow and yesteryear.
The Ken Hall Trophy is run on an invitation only basis and features the cream of the world's motocross riders, twin shock riders and also side cars! Local riders who have always supported the Ken Hall have their chance to ride one of the most demanding yet beautiful natural circuits in Britain today.

The Track |
|
The course is one of the most beautiful yet demanding natural circuits set in the South Downs with spectacular views towards the South Coast. The overall length of the track is 2060 metres over uneven grass terrain and incorporates a chalky hillside known locally as Cold Hill, which is extremely difficult and has to be seen to be believed and which has claimed many a victim over the last 40 years. Some major improvements have been made to the track this year with hundreds of man and machine hours and dirt going into making the track the best it has ever been! |

Josh Coppins Wins 2006 Ken Hall |
|
Straight from his astounding MX1 GP victory in Ireland, CAS Honda star, Josh Coppins hopped on a plane to the UK to race the Ken Hall Trophy. The spectacular Langrish circuit attracted a great turnout of spectators who witnessed a Coppins clean sweep. The Kiwi won both moto's convincingly although he was feeling the effect of three days of racing back to back. "The Ken Hall Trophy is an awesome event and I always like coming back here. It's also great to interact with the fans. At the GP's, time is short and the atmosphere is not as relaxed but now I get to spend more time signing autographs and talking to the fans which I enjoy. This is a short week for me and I'll be taking it easy up to Lierop. I have been training really hard in the sand lately so I'm looking forward to racing this weekend," smiled Coppins.
