THE DRUMMOND TROPHY

SCOTLAND'S OLDEST CYCLE RACE

Glenmarnock Wheelers organise and run The Drummond Trophy every Spring.   It first took place in 1955 and has been a major draw for some big names in cycling over its six decades.  Participants over its illustrious history have included Bradley Wiggins, Robert Millar and Eurosport commentator Brian Smith.

The Drummond Trophy is known as one of Scotland’s ‘monument’ events, as it was first conceived to mimic the north European classics like the Tour of Flanders and Liege-Bastogne-Liege. Like its famous counterparts, it is held each April over rolling terrain with the weather often playing a key role in deciding the outcome.
