This closed road course has changed little since the event was started over 40 years ago, but is now slightly longer to accommodate the needs of a National A event. 

The circuit starts at the top of the High Street adjacent to Holy Trinity Church, before immediately narrowing, after which riders bear onto Upper High Street on the right-hand side of the carriageway.

The circuit continues to the end of Upper High Street where riders must navigate a U-turn, serving to thin out the field

before continuing back down Upper High Street, past the “service pits” on the right-hand side before making a right turn onto North Street.

Riders descend on the tarmac of North Street before a tight left-hander, and a tricky change of surface into Market Street where the road narrows again, and begins to rise, before another 90-degree left turn onto the cobbled High Street.

From here it is upwards to the start/finish line outside Holy Trinity Church… and around again!
