The Southeastern Trials Riders Association (STRA) would like to share a brief update regarding the Fun in the Sun event.

This year, Fun in the Sun will be run using a peer-scoring format. Because STRA Championship Series events require a consistent scoring structure across all rounds, this format means the event will not be included as a points-earning round for the STRA Championship Series.

Importantly, Fun in the Sun remains a great event, and STRA fully encourages riders to attend, participate, and enjoy the weekend. This decision is purely related to championship series requirements and does not reflect on the quality of the event, its organizers, or the riding experience.

STRA appreciates everyone’s understanding as we work to maintain consistency and fairness within our championship series, and we look forward to seeing riders at upcoming STRA Championship rounds throughout the season. The 2026 season will now kick off at Rockcrusher Farm on March 21-22.

The 2026 STRA schedule has been set. Additionally, 2026 memberships are now available on the website at the memberships tab!

Join us in congratulating our 2025 season podium finishers!
