It was run at Clapton Stadium from 1928 until its closure in 1973. [3] The event moved to Slough Stadium in 1974 which consequently closed in 1986. [4] The third move resulted in Catford Stadium hosting the race from 1987 until yet another closure forced the race to end in 2002. After a two-year wait, a new home was finally found at Perry Barr Stadium until 2009 when the GRA switched the competition to sister track Belle Vue.[5]
