The Classic is a greyhound racing competition held at Sunderland Greyhound Stadium.

[1] It was inaugurated in 2007[2] and initially formed part of a festival of racing which also included the William Hill Grand Prix.

In 2019 the Classic was renamed, dropping the sponsor's name William Hill.

[3] The prize money offered was a substantial first prize of £40,000, which meant that it was considered a major competition in United Kingdom greyhound racing at the time.

[4] However, it dropped to just £6,500 before increasing to £10,000 in 2022 and then £20,000 in 2024 under the sponsorship of Premier Greyhound Racing.
