WEST MIDS ROAD RACE CALENDAR 2026
West Midlands will run two road race series in 2026; our traditional West Mids Road Race League based on Regional A 2/3/4 category races, and new for this year, the Wales and West Midlands Cup based on Regional B 3rd + 4th category races – the dates for the Welsh rounds for this will be confirmed shortly.
Both series include races in regions that adjoin West Midlands; we would like to thank promoters in Central Region and Wales, and the WCU, for their support and collaboration.
The Radnorshire RR was a West Mids Road Race League counting round in 2025; new in the WMRRL for 2026 is the well established Banbury Star RR on May 17.
The Marches 3-day moves to a new date of May 2-4, which should make life easier for those travelling; the format will be identical to that of 2024, with stages 2-4 based out of Presteigne, and the race closing with the iconic hill top finish on Offa’s Dyke.
The region will again host a round of the national under-23 open road series, with the promotion taken over by Stourbridge CC at the same venue as in 2025, Welland in Worcestershire.
The Nick Clayton Memorial will close the season, moving to a Nat B with a changed format, road race in the morning, short time trial in the afternoon.
We would also like to thank Fusion Media for their support over the last four seasons, helping to keep West Mids road racing on the road!
