Cookstown & District Motorcycle Club’s groundbreaking announcement for competitors ahead of the 104th Cookstown ‘100.’

2026 Cookstown 100 competitors received an unexpected Christmas present when the directors of Cookstown & District Motorcycle Club announced the groundbreaking news that they would receive Free and Reduced entry fees for next year's event.
2026 Cookstown 100 competitors received an unexpected Christmas present when the directors of Cookstown & District Motorcycle Club announced the groundbreaking news that they would receive Free and Reduced entry fees for next year’s event.

Christmas is a season of giving, and the Cookstown & District Motor Cycle Club (MCC) is proud to announce it has a special gift for competitors ahead of next year’s Cookstown “100” road races.

As the longest-running national road racing organisation – second only to the Isle of Man TT – the Cookstown MCC has built a legacy of resilience and innovation in motorsport.

From the early days, when race legends such as Mike Hailwood, Philip McCallen, Robert Dunlop, and Michael Dunlop each scored their first road race wins at Cookstown, to pioneering initiatives like the “Man of the Meeting” award in 1974 (£100.00), the first club to allow Robert Dunlop to return to racing, following his 1994 IOM TT crash, and hosting the only road race worldwide during the 2020 pandemic, the Cookstown club has consistently sought ways to support riders and the sport.

In 2026, the 104th Cookstown “100” will feature a game-changing initiative—competitors will receive ‘FREE’ and ‘Discounted’ entry fees. This means no one will pay a full entry fee to compete at the Cookstown “100”!
