The championships start on Sunday October 6th and go through to Saturday October 12th giving you seven days of packed action. Events are for both men and women and are classified in to 5 year age groups from 35 years old upwards. UCI Rainbow jerseys for the winner and medals to the first three will be on offer in Time Trial, Sprint, Individual Pursuit, Points Race, Scratch Race and Team Sprint. Following its successful trial in 2012 there will also be an official Team Pursuit championship for both men and women. This makes a host of over 70 championships during the week’s racing.

Advance ticket purchases can also be made on line at the championships web site by following this link :

Tickets are reasonably priced at £8 and £5 for concessions per day which gets you in to the championships for all sessions that day with a free programme at the door. Even better is a week long ticket at £40 and £25 for concessions getting you seven days for the price of five. This year advance purchasers will receive an electronic ticket by email which will replace the old system of collecting tickets at the door.
