New Awards for 2025
Highland Classic News!
We will have two new annual awards this year at the Highland Classic. For the ‘Laird Jamie’s Challenge’, for the best performance by a rider over 35 years of age competing on the shortened B Route, the winner will be awarded the ‘Schreiber Cup’ which will be donated by 1979 World Trials Champion, Bernie Schreiber. A suitable cup is currently being sourced. The winner will be posted glassware to keep.

Secondly, for the best performance by a B Route rider, over 35 years of age, the Peter Valente Memorial Quaich. This award is being presented to the club by Peter Valente’s brother Simon, who was also a trials rider. Again, the winner will be posted glassware to keep.

For 2025, we also have the new ‘Laird Jamie’s Challenge’ for riders who don’t want to tackle the full 18 sections per lap per day, but a shorter run around the Alvie hills with a reduced number of sections being tackled.
The Clerks of Course have responded positively to feedback received after the 2024 event and will be easing some of the hazards and access to them.
There will also be some new ‘social features’ this year for rider’s enjoyment, more will be revealed as we approach June!

2025 Regulations Released

The 2025 Highland Classic Two Day Trial – ‘British Two-Stroke Edition’ supplementary regulations have just been released, in advance of the entries opening on Saturday, 1st February at 9am.
In the event that we are oversubscribed, then we will do as the last two years, ballot the entry.
The good news is that the entry fee is still fixed at £75 per rider. There is some exciting new features for 2025, one of which is the ‘Laird Jamie’s Challenge’.
Laird Jamie’s Challenge:
This is for riders who perhaps feel that two full laps per day is maybe beyond their capabilities, but still want a challenging weekend with a variety of sections on the B Route. Some classes have been combined and we maintained the Under 35 classes for the more youthful entrant.
The committee has listened carefully to the feedback we received after last year’s trial and have agreed that an easing of some sections and entrances to hazards is required, this has been fully acknowledged and taken on board for this year.
Entries open on 1st February and will remain open for a two week period, it is not necessary to include payment until you have a confirmation of entry, at which time a bank transfer of the entry fee of £75 will be required.
Observers?
If you are planning entering and have a friend, relative, spouse that would be willing to observe for us, then please, please, please put their name on the entry form. It would be very much appreciated. Observers will receive packed lunches both days and catering when they come off the hill.
In the meantime, download the regulations and have a good read of them BEFORE entering.
Supplementary Regulations 2025
We look forward to receiving your entry very shortly!

2025 Highland Classic
We are already planning for the 2025 Highland Classic Two-Day Trial which will take place on 7/8 June at Alvie Estate.
This year, after the BSA/Triumph edition we picked up on comments made that the B Route was a bit too challenging, so we embarked on a rider feedback where we collected all comments about the event, good and bad.
This feedback was discussed at committee and it was agreed to ease back the B Route and to make some further improvements when laying out the event in 2025.
In short, we listened to rider’s comments and criticisms which helps ensure that the trial is set out at the correct level.
Further, we have decided to have the ‘Laird Jamie’s Challenge’ (named in honour of the Laird of Alvie Estate, Jamie Williamson) where riders can opt to ride a limited amount of sections on both days. We usually have two laps of 18 sections per day, which will continue. However, the ‘Laird’s Challenge’ will be over run over a lap and a quarter per day, so 25 sections (50 in total) will be attempted rather than 36 sections per day (72 in total).
We feel this is an excellent solution, to allow our more mature competitors to take part, without losing the enjoyment of the ‘Friendliest Classic Trial In Scotland’. It also allows the younger competitors to compete for the ‘Ray Sangster Memorial’ award on the A Route (36 sections per day) and all the other classes.
We have now merged Pre65 and Britshock machines to simplify the classes and awards.

New sponsors were brought on board in 2024, including Hodge Plant Ltd and 7even Contruction and this worked well and allowed us to freeze the entry fee and we plan to do the same for 2025. The number plates are already in stock, these have been once again sponsored by Gavin Cairns Roughcasting.

Kudu Products of Leeds have also come on board to supply course marking materials and are our new supplier for the rider’s number boards.
Entries for the 2025 ‘British Two-Stroke Edition’ of the Highland Classic will open on 1st February 2025, online.
