The Champion Hurdle Trial is a Grade 2 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain held each January, which is open to horses aged four years or older.
It is run at Haydock Park over a distance of about 1 mile 7½ furlongs (1 mile 7 furlongs and 144 yards, or 3,149 metres), and with nine hurdles.
The race was first run in 1981, and was awarded Grade 2 status in 2003.
The Champion Hurdle Trial is the third leg in the Unibet-sponsored Road to Cheltenham, and the final race of the series before the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
In April 2023 the British Horseracing Authority announced the removal of the Champion Hurdle Trial from the 2023/24 programme.
