The outline of the 2026 domestic road racing calendar is becoming clearer as organisers in the West Midlands and South West confirm additional fixtures. The latest announcements, which follow earlier releases over recent weeks, help to establish the early structure of next year’s National B and regional racing programme.
Four races have now been added to the West Midlands schedule, reinforcing the region’s position as one of the busiest areas for domestic road racing.
The Evesham Vale Road Race, a National B event set for 8 March, will again use the familiar Inkberrow circuit, supported by a Regional B event earlier in the day. Later in the spring, Welland will host a Under-23 National Road Series round on 14 June, returning elite development racing to the Worcestershire–Herefordshire border.
The Solihull CC Women’s Team Cup takes place on 5 July, also at Inkberrow, alongside a Regional A support race. The fixture remains one of the region’s most established women’s National Bs. The sector’s autumn will then conclude with the Nick Clayton Memorial on 13 September, run as a two-stage, one-day National B using circuits around Leighton.
With these additions, William Fotheringham estimates that the West Midlands will deliver around 20–22 days of road racing in 2026 once permissions are finalised, continuing a pattern of strong activity in the region.
In the South West, organisers have confirmed a stage race and a divisional championships event
The Totnes–Vire 2-Day Stage Race, promoted by Mid Devon CC, will return on 4–5 April. The race, one of the longest-running stage events in the UK, remains a central part of the region’s spring calendar.
On 31 May, Plymouth Corinthian CC will promote the Ermington Classic, which will incorporate a wide set of divisional titles:
Women’s championships: South West, South, Welsh
Open championships: South West, South
Organisers are in discussions with Ermington Parish Council regarding local arrangements and event integration, though final course and finish details have not yet been confirmed. The race will run on the SW167 circuit regardless, marking its first use as a National B course.
