It’s hard to believe the Cannock Chase Winter Classic has been going on for 12 years and it continues to be one of the biggest XC on the calendar and for 2025 we are thrilled to announce a new headline sponsor, Beanie Boy. As a local, urban clothing brand that combines their eye for style with our love for the great outdoors we're really excited to welcome them aboard.

​

The team from Beanie Boy will be joining us on the day, armed with an incredible selection of their products for you to purchase.

 

Our secret to event success is to keep things simple. Great old school racing with a challenging but suitable for all course design. Categories that promote competitive racing regardless of age or ability and a relaxed fun atmosphere.

 

Generally the start of the season for the XC Mountain Bike racers in the Midlands, turnout is always big for this event. Many categories will sell out before Christmas with riders super keen to kick off their year.​​

​

If you've not entered one of these events before then please take the time to read the "Event Categories" under "Race Information" for more detail on what category to enter. 

​​​

For 2025 we've had to implement a price increase across all categories. The well published change of pricing structure from Forestry England means that we're now paying nearly 4 times the amount for the use of the land. Whilst we've absorbed most of increase we've had to increase entry fees.

 

We're currently experiencing issues with the payment system working with Android / Microsoft web browsers. If this is the case then please use this link.
