Classic Update
Important Announcement: The Classic 2025 Postponed
We advise that The Classic 2025 has officially been postponed. While this was not an easy decision, it is one made with care, compassion, and deep respect for the people who make this event possible.
We will be running from November 13th to 15th, 2026.
We thank our Amazing Judges who will also be returning with us in 2026.
To our incredible team, supporters, and everyone who has stood by us, thank you. Your unwavering dedication, countless hours, and passionate efforts to restore VAHA to its former glory have not gone unnoticed. It’s been a remarkable journey, and your contribution means the world to us.
Unfortunately, life has brought some unexpected challenges our way. In recent Weeks/Days, we’ve had valued committee members step down due to urgent medical needs and a well-earned retirement. Now, with another serious health incident within our team, we must once again prioritize what matters most: the health and safety of our committee members and their families.
We are already looking ahead with hope and determination. We can assure you, The Classic will return in 2026 bigger and stronger. Until then, thank you for your understanding, support, and continued belief in what we do.
We will be proceeding with upcoming announcements shortly. We look forward to continued collaboration and shared success ahead.
With gratitude,
The VAHA Committee
