It’s the most wonderful time of the year—and we’re not just talking about the riding.
The MegaSack returns tomorrow for December 2025, bringing you 15 days of incredible prizes, culminating in one lucky subscriber winning the entire MegaSack worth over £3,000 (we think) on Christmas Eve.
If you’ve never experienced the MegaSack madness before, here’s how it works: throughout December, we’ll be running daily prize draws featuring premium kit from brands like Shimano, Hunt, Tailfin, MET, ORTLIEB, and more. But here’s the twist that makes it special—every sponsor sends us two of every prize. One goes to our daily winner, and the other goes straight into the quasi-legendary MegaSack.
Then, on Christmas Eve, we (well, Mark) goes live to draw one name from our paying subscribers. That person wins everything in the MegaSack. Every. Single. Prize. It’s the ultimate mountain biker’s Christmas haul, and it could be yours.
How to enter: two ways to win
For the Daily Prizes
Simply sign up to our free weekly newsletter. That’s it. One email a week (we don’t spam you), and you get the chance to enter every daily draw. If you are already a full member then you are already in the mix. Just enter each day for you chance to win.
Plus each daily entry counts as an entry into the MegaSack draw. The more daily draws you enter the more chances you have of winning the MegaSack (well, so long as you are a magazine subscriber by then that is – see below)
For the Entire MegaSack
This is the big one. To be in with a chance of winning the entire £3,000+ prize haul on Christmas Eve, you need to be a Singletrack Full Member AKA our paying subscribers who keep the lights on and the content flowing.
If you’re already a member, you’re already on the list. If you’re not, now’s the perfect time to join and support independent mountain bike media while getting yourself in the running for the ultimate prize.
And remember, as a Full Member you can increase your chances of winning the MegaSack by entering every daily draw. Each daily entry counts as an entry in the MegaSack draw. Enter every day and you get multiple chances at the big prize.
Refer a friend for extra entries
New for this year is a way to boost your chances of winning by cynically persuading up to three ‘friends’ to also enter our daily draws. When you enter each day, look for the refer a friend button. That gives you a unique-to-you link that you can share. For each person that uses that link to enter the draw you get an extra ‘ticket’ in the metaphorical hat when it comes to the draw.
When does it start?
The first daily draw kicks off on Monday December 1st, and we’ll be announcing winners throughout the month right here on Singletrack.
The final live MegaSack draw happens on Christmas Eve, where we’ll pull one name from our subscriber list and hand over the keys to the kingdom, as it were.
Don’t miss out. Sign up to the newsletter for your daily chances, and if you want to go all-in for that Christmas Eve glory, become a Full Member today.

So not sure if I’m in or not?
Which link Stu – I don’t see anything that’s helpful
Do you mean (re)sign up for newsletters?
If I sign up for the newsletter again, will I get 2 newsletters every month?
Ah – this is unclear!
I’m a member and long-standing newsletter subscriber, but I don’t see anything on the website (usually a ‘day 1 Megasack video’ and a random question to answer in order to enter!
Do I need to re-sign up to the newsletter?
Yes
Now I just have to tick the CAPTCHA box rather than enter a code. On submission the form just clears so I don’t know if it’s been successful; 15-20 minutes on and there’s no confirmation email, should I get one?
— Edit —
Scrap that, the error’s still they (but no code entry).
I’m getting the error message IHN posted as well.Â
Still error message here (IHN’s red text) on attempting to sign up (3-4 times now, some with a capcha and some without)
I’m already signed up anyway
Stu, have you actually been able to enter ?
Yeah not a clue. I’ve bneen signed up to the newsletter for ages. Do I need to sign up again? Do I need to sign up every day for an entry?
I guess if anyone does manage to enter they’ll be in with a damn good chance of winning.
No I’ve not.
Doesn’t there need to be a video and then you answer a question about it to enter?
Not seen a post or link to the daily video yet?
Captcha still broken. Doesn’t even give me the characters to copy. This comment box isn’t showing what I type so that’s fun. Or maybe it’s very light grey on white, nice.
There was an error when sending a confirmation email for your subscription. Please contact the website owner.
Same error here, could not get past the Captcha thingy
Is this working yet STW? No video to click on…?!
[Mod] it’s being worked on, will advise when fixed.
can’t access it
This is not the day 1 competition. This is just the info story telling what’s coming this week. The Day 1 video and question will bepublished very soon. We are just checking everything is working.
Got the red error code – don’t know if I’m entered or not- help!?
Be ready soon. An email service provider is the problem. Your newsletter registrations are making it through but at the moment the confirmation emails are not getting sent. I am watching carefully and no one will be missed out in the draw because you don’t get a confirmation email from us. I have you.
We are just checking the email confirmation system in the actual competition form is working. Should be a go in a few minutes.
What if we’re already subscribers? Do we have to sign up again?
Seems to be working for me now.Â
