THE DANUM TROPHY ROAD RACE

Return to the early season road race opener in South Yorkshire. First, run in 1969 by the Birdwell Wheelers. The current event is promoted by Doncaster Wheelers C.C.

2013 saw the race moved from its normal circuit around Wentworth to a new circuit based on High Melton and Sprotbrough, a similar tough route covering the 6-mile circuit 11 times.

Previous winners were usually known as hardmen of road racing with victories going to riders such as Chris Parkinson, Ticker Mullins, Arthur Metcalfe, Nigel Bloor x 2, Martin Young x 2, Charlie Moody, Chris Walker, Bernie Burns x 2, Neil Martin x 2, John Tanner, Russ Downing, Graham Briggs, and Wayne Randle taking the honors 3 times and Matt Holmes,

Headquarters for the 2023 event headquarters are at the Pastures Lodge and Hotel just a mile from the circuit with the finish in the village of High Melton.

 With a challenging 6 mile circuit to be covered 11 times the race will have a well-deserved winner on the finish line at High Melton after 65 tough miles of racing on some of South Yorkshire's finest countryside.

Maximum 70 rider field plus 10 reserves.
