The ever-popular Noel Teggart Memorial will return for 2026 on Sunday 14th June. The event will once again use the testing 30km Banbridge/Rathfriland/Annaclone circuit, on the outskirts of Banbridge town and winding in the shadows of the Mourne Mountains it provides a healthy mix of challenging rises in the road and fast flowing smooth paved tarmac to encourage plenty of great racing.

The C2 race will cover 3 laps, totalling 93km. The C3 race will cover 2 laps of the same circuit for a race distance of 62km.
All races will depart the race HQ at Banbridge Rugby Club together at 11:50am and will roll neutralised to the race start on the Rathfriland Rd. Racing for the C1’s will commence at 12:00, with the C2 and C3 races following close after.
