In 1996 a small band of local trials enthusiasts put their heads together and organised the first Manx Classic Weekend Trial for 53 local Twinshock/Pre 65 machines. Little did they know what a successful and long running event this would become.
The Manx International Classic Trial has developed into a major international event and is held every year in late August/early September immediately following the Manx Grand Prix & Classic TT.
This years event will run over the weekend of 30th and 31st August 2025. The event regularly attracts competitors from all over the world who relish the opportunity to ride proper classic trials sections amongst the spectacular scenery of our island and the 230 rider entry list is always oversubcribed. For many of our visiting riders it has become their number one 'must ride' event of the year, a fact our Club is very proud of and strives to maintain.
There are classes for Pre 65 and the slightly more modern Twinshock & Air Cooled Monoshock machinery with an option of riding the Premier or Clubman routes through the sections, but the main object is for everyone to enjoy a sociable, but non the less competitive, sporting weekend in our scenic countryside.
