National Cycling Championships – Saltburn

25th June 2023

Free

 

British Cycling will be bringing this year’s British National Road Championships to Redcar and Cleveland, with races being held in both Redcar and Saltburn.

The road races, starting and finishing in Saltburn on Sunday 25th June, will conclude the championships and challenge the riders with its steep gradient and tight hairpin bends separating the best from the rest.

Both the men and women will follow an 18.8km loop, with the women completing seven laps to cover 132km, and the men taking on 10 laps and 189km. Each lap will start by heading into the villages of East Cleveland, passing the historic Skelton Castle, before heading through the old mining sites in Kilton. Riders will then drop back down to the coast of Saltburn before firing up Saltburn Bank to the finish.

The National Cycling Championships showcases top class athletes, some of whom compete in the highest level of professional cycling (World Tour Level). Over the years the event has attracted Tour de France winners, Olympic and World Champion medallists such as Lizzie Deignan, Sir Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, Mark Cavendish and Geraint Thomas who all battle it out to wear the national champions jersey.
