Will Houghton Memorial Circuit Race
Sunday 1st September 2024. Sign-on from 12pm. Race start 1pm.
Originally run as a road race in Oakley, Oxfordshire. This race has been relocated in recent years to Hillingdon cycle circuit. This gives spectators a great opportunity to watch the race unfold over its 40mile duration.
The event is held in memory of Will Houghton. Will was a motivated, talented and special
young man. He was just 20 years old when he was tragically hit by a car and killed whilst training on
his bike. He was a keen and talented racer who had achieved podium position in the Oakley RR. Will raced for Vision RT, where Scott Holmes one of the organisers of this event coached. Any profits from this event are sent to the Will Houghton Foundation, which was set up in his name in order to support young people in reaching their potential.
