1. The season long competitions (Best All Rounder, 3 Distance Competition, Short Distance Competition)
2. The National Championship events (10, 25, 30, 50, 100 miles and 12 and 24 hours)
3. Trophies allocated to specific events in the season
4. Trophies awarded for the outstanding racing performace of the season and for service to the VTTA
Below is the list of the current National Trophies and recent winners. A full history of trophy winners and all competitions is provided in the annual VTTA Handbook.
Pictured below are Ian Greenstreet and Rachael Elliott winners of the 2019 CW Cooke trophy for most meritorious racing performance of the season, in which they broke multiple national mixed tandem records.
Note on 2020 - No trophies or medals were awarded for the season long competitions in 2020 due to the curtailment of the season by the Covid-19 pandemic which severely reduced the number of qualifying riders. The leading riders in each competition for 2020 were:
