THE AARON PAGE CLASSIC 2026 - 14th of November.

This year marks the fifth anniversary of the APC and six years since we lost Aaron, so we want to make this one truly special.

For this year’s competition, we’re putting together the APC “Greatest Hits” and bringing back the people’s favourite events from across the past five years.

And we want you to help us choose them.

Which events deserve to make a comeback? What was your favourite to compete in or watch? Let us know in the comments. Include the year if you can remember it and what you loved about it!

As always let’s make this the greatest APC yet and a celebration Aaron would be proud of 🖤
