I'm delighted to announce the winners of the 2015 Race Awards. All finalists were nominated by public vote during December 2015, and the winners were chosen by public vote between late December and early January 2016. With over 4,000 people voting on the finalists, I believe that the races below (both winners and finalists) are representative of some of the best races in the country, and if you are looking at races to enter in 2016, then this is a good place to start.
