The Classic is a greyhound racing competition held at Sunderland Greyhound Stadium. It was inaugurated in 2007 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. The event was not run in 2020 but returned during 2021.
The prize money offered was a substantial first prize of ã40,000, which meant that it was considered a major competition in United Kingdom greyhound racing at the time. However, it dropped to just ã6,500 before increasing to ã10,000 in 2022 and then ã20,000 in 2024 under the sponsorship of Premier Greyhound Racing.
