The Northern Whig, reported of a women's ‘world championships' race taking place in Balmoral, in August 1901 as part of a cycling and pedestrian display, but stated that the small crowd was disappointed with the event. Only five women participated with a sixth pulling out due to illness.
Balmoral Showgrounds is located near the local Balmoral station and an old map of the area shows a trotting track next to it. Either of these could have been where the racing took place or it may have been a portable track.
