2025 West Midlands road race league

EVENTS: The 2025 West Midlands road race league will have 10 rounds, spanning the season from March to September, and will be supported for a fourth year by Fusion Media. The league is an inclusive, fun series based on weekend road races in the region, offering race opportunities for riders from beginners up to the seasoned racer thanks to a blend of Regional A and Regional B races.

The 2025 league will consist of 6 Regional A (2nd, 3rd, 4th categories) and 4 Regional B (3rd + 4th cats) races. The races are open to all comers, but if a race is oversubscribed priority entry will be given to West Midlands riders who qualify to contest the league.

“I’d like to thank all our race organisers who will make this year’s League happen, and our partners Fusion Media for their ongoing support,” said WM board road lead William Fotheringham. “The league has been a mainstay of racing in the region for many years now, it’s been renewed with new organisers like Wyre Forest, Gannett and Stourbridge, and it was good to see that over 100 riders qualified for the final table last year.”

League points are based on actual finish placings and will begin at 120 for winning a Regional A race and 100 for winning a Regional B race, down to one for 80th place where applicable.

A rider’s best five rounds will count towards the final table. The team standings will be based on the best 3 riders per team per round. Overall winner in 2024 was veteran Ian Gilkes, a GB team stalwart in the 1990s, with Bridgnorth CC taking the team title.

Team and individual standings will be published on www.westmidsroadracing.co.uk, usually after each round.

The 2025 prize list will be minimum £700, with £125 for overall winner, prizes for best junior and 4th category, and £200 shared between the winning team.
