  • Tamar Trial 2025 – Mid-Month News

    After our long standing Sporting Trial championship round last Sunday, the David Ayres, which was held in some pretty horrid weather conditions but boosted a very good entry on the day. Great thanks to all those that braved the weather especially to the marshals and landowner. More to follow in the October newsletter looking back at the trial.

    This mid-month version looks ahead to our flagship classic trial in a few weeks. 

    78th Tamar Trial – Sunday 12th October 2025

    The organising team are now in full flow getting everything ready logistically for the event, from landowner signatures to section clearing complete to be all up and ready to go on 12th October. 

    Entries 

    Entries are coming in well, with over 50 received so far. We’re limited to 90 entries, and last year we were oversubscribed, which was fantastic.

    It would be brilliant to see another bumper entry this year – so if you’re thinking of entering don’t delay and if you need to withdraw for any reason, refunds will be issued up to the entry closing date on Friday 3rd October.

    This year’s route will feature a great mix of new sections, some updated challenges, and of course the familiar hills for all to enjoy.
