North East Road Race Series

𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 – 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝗔𝗟𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗!

The NERRS organisers got together last night ahead of the British Cycling North East AGM, and planning for the 2027 North East road racing season is already well underway.

After a really positive 2026 season, we’re determined to keep building. We spent the evening looking at what worked, what we can improve and, most importantly, how we can create more opportunities and a clearer pathway into road racing in the North.

There are already plenty of ideas on the table, structured winter training, reliability rides, APR racing, more road races and some exciting new race formats.

We were one man down last night, with James Jobber currently racing in China, a fairly decent excuse for missing the meeting! We added him in the photo though!

We’re also keen to widen the team behind NERRS. If your 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁, we’d be very happy to hear from you. Whether that’s helping with an event, bringing forward ideas or becoming more involved in the wider programme, drop us a message.

There’s plenty more to come.

Bring on 2027.

🏁 𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 – 𝗪𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞

With the 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 now complete, we're already starting to look ahead to 𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳.

But before we make plans, 𝗪𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗬𝗢𝗨.

We've created an 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲, whether you raced one round, raced the whole series, volunteered, officiated, supported from the roadside, considered entering but didn't, or simply have an interest in road racing in the North East.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?

What would you like to see in 2027?

Different courses?
More rounds?
Different race formats or categories?
Women's racing?
Entry fees?
Race distances?
Days and start times?
Prizes and series standings?
Better communication?
Something completely different?

We're genuinely open to ideas.

NERRS exists to help rebuild, support and grow road racing in the North East, and we want the 2027 series to reflect what riders and the wider cycling community actually want.

All constructive feedback is welcome , good, bad or somewhere in between.

WOMEN’S RACE – ROUND 3 UPDATE

Unfortunately, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to cancel the Women’s race at Round 3 of the North East Road Race Series this Saturday.

Despite continuing to push entries, we’ve only reached 10 riders and needed a minimum of 20 for the race to be viable.

We’re genuinely disappointed, particularly for those who entered early and supported the race. All entrants will of course receive a full refund.

This was the first year of the North East Road Race Series and we’ve learnt a lot from putting the three rounds together. Going into 2027, we’ll look much more closely at the wider race calendar, potential clashes and everything we’ve learnt this season as we continue trying to develop and support women’s road racing regionally in the North East.

We’re committed to trying to build something sustainable rather than simply giving up because the numbers haven’t been there this year.

The Open race will go ahead as planned, with 45 riders currently entered. We’ll also be accepting entries on the day for anyone who fancies a last-minute race on the Scots Gap Circuit. 🏁

A huge thank you to everyone who has entered and supported the series this year, and we’re very sorry we can’t give the Women’s field the race they signed up for.

We’ll keep working at it for 2027. 🏁

22/08/2026

Entries close tomorrow night at midnight 🕛

For the women’s race to go ahead we need at least 6 more entires so please if you’re thinking about entering get to it 🎟️ - current entries are visible on the event entry page 🗞️

The Open Race still has places available and the field will be accepted on closing.
