Cannock Chase Winter Classic 2027

It’s hard to believe the Cannock Chase Winter Classic has been running for 14 years! Still one of the biggest XC races on the calendar, the 2027 edition will be bigger than ever, with short course races and kids’ skills training added on Saturday afternoon. This event has SOLD OUT for the past 3 years, so we don't expect any different for our 2027 event.

Our formula for success hasn’t changed:

• Simple, old-school racing on a course that’s fun, rideable, and challenging for all levels.
• Inclusive categories designed to keep racing competitive no matter your age or ability.
• A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that captures the true grassroots spirit of mountain biking.

The Winter Classic is traditionally the season opener for XC racers in the Midlands, and categories often sell out before Christmas as riders are eager to kick off their year.

Who the Event is For?
