The Event
A highlight of the Guildford Festival each year, the races are fought out by the country’s top road racers. This is guaranteed to bring a fast and hard-fought main event on Guildford’s notoriously tough course, with its cobbled climb up the High Street and tight, narrow corners out of North Street. As well as the main event a programme of supporting events is also offered including the ever popular ‘youngsters’ race where many top cyclists of the future get their first opportunity to ride in such a big event. The biggest applause is often saved for the smallest riders!
The Races
As part of the races there are six races throughout the evening as follows:
6.20pm - Youth Criteriums - U8 (Youth E)
6.30pm - Youth Criteriums - U12/U10 (Youth C & D)
6.40pm - Youth Criteriums - U16/U14 (Youth A & B)
7.00pm - 'Local Heroes' Criterium (3rd Cat Only - Regional B)
