The course has a real old school feel and our course designer, fresh from working on the Tokyo Olympic course as well as Rounds 1 - 4 & Exposure Lights TwentyFour12, has added a few surprises to keep even the top riders guessing as they make their way round the natural environment.

Event organiser, Matt Williams, said:

​

“At Cannock Chase you’ll find really nice twisty, natural single track, technical decents and open grassland sections with plenty of room for overtaking. On site we’ve been given a blank canvas to create a course suitable of a National event and that's what we’ve done"

​

The venue will also host all the usual facilities, promotional tents and food and drink vendors. Camping is also still available on site from the Friday to the Sunday.
