The Highland Classic has been updating the trophies and awards for the event over the past few years. The main trophies listed below are not given out, but will be on display at the start of the event. This is due to the excessive cost of transporting and insurance for the trophies between winner and the club. We do however present high quality glassware to the winners, suitably engraved, for the winners to keep.
Here are the details of the main trophies awarded at the Highland Classic Two Day Trial:
Ray Sangster Memorial Trophy – Overall winner of the Highland Classic Two Day Trial – For the best performance by a rider, over 35 years of age, competing on the A route. (A replica will be awarded to the winner).

In all cases, if there is a tie on marks, the oldest competitor will be declared the best performer.
