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 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.
Event Details
Held as before on the popular area of Cannock Chase the event will once again be focused more towards the newbie or fun rider. The Classic events have always been about grass routes of mountain biking. Riders from 3 years old to 70 years. People who ride everyday and those that have just started. Everybody with one thing in common and that’s a love for Mountain Biking.
The course is traditional mountain biking with everything from short and sharp climbs, single track descents and fire road blasts. We aim for a course which 100% ride-able therefore where we have a technical section we will also have an easy route for those who may be not quite so confident.
We often get asked what standard you need to be to ride in our events. We would say that if you up to riding the red route around Cannock Chase then you are at a suitable level. If you aren't quite at that level yet then you may find sections of our full course too difficult.
At the venue you’ll find camping facilities, fresh water, hard standing parking 100 meters from the start and great view points for spectators. We’ll also have caterers and trade stands along.
