In mid-January 2025 the organisers announced the cancellation of the second round of the series, the Severn Valley Stages which was originally scheduled for 12 April 2025. Natural Resources Wales had confirmed to the organisers that due to extensive storm damage, many parts of the forestry estate were inaccessible. [3] Championship organisers will provide further information as it develops.
