The race was first run in 1970 at a distance of 109 miles (175 km). The race was first run as a night race under flood lights in 1989 and returned in 1990 and 1991 in this format. The economic recession of the early 1990s forced the event to be cancelled in 1992. The race was brought back in 2001 at the request of the town council.Following the 2001 race, the Shropshire Star newspaper became title sponsor of the race. The 2003 edition attracted Sean Kelly as a guest and 14,000 spectators. The event was developed in 2005 with the addition of the "One Lap Challenge", specifically designed for track cyclists. In 2007, the event was made up of three races: the British Cycling Elite Circuit race, a past masters race and a showcase event involving British Tour de France riders Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish and Geraint Thomas, along with Olympic medalist Rob Hayles.
