Women Ride
The 12 Hours of the Chinelle support women in motorsport
In partnership with the Fédération de Motocross de Wallonie-Bruxelles (FMWB), the 12 Hours of the Chinelle are launching the Women Ride project: a concrete initiative to increase female participation in motocross and enduro.
The goal is clear: to create real momentum through structured support and strong communication. Not just a category on paper, but a genuine collective movement.
Whether you’ve already ridden or have never crossed a starting line, your place is here.
It’s absolutely achievable for a woman. It’s an experience to live at least once in a lifetime.
Women Ride Benefits
Because getting started deserves a little support. Here’s what the Chinelle is preparing for women’s teams.

The first 3 all-female teams to register will receive a 50% discount on registration fees for both the 12 Hours and the Mini-Chinelle.

They came to finish.
Last year, Marine Ramelot, Elise Marchal, Ingrid and Anaïs took on the 12 Hours challenge.
12 hours of relay racing, preparation, mental strength, and true team spirit.
On the podium, we stood on the top step and the crowd gave us an incredible ovation. It was amazing! In our team of four, I was the only one who had done it before. For the other three, it was their very first time… and we did it!
The Chinelle was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was amazing, the weather was perfect, and the organization was fantastic. By the end of the 12 hours, I was riding at a better pace than at the start.
