To compete at the ¹û¶³ÊÓƵ Track Cycling Championship, you will need a Racing Licence. If you do not hold a British Cycling racing licence you will need to buy a Day Licence at the event on each of the days you compete, (e.g. one licence for Saturday and one for Sunday). 

The cost of a licence (per day) depends on which British Cycling Membership you have: 

Prior to entries closing, withdrawals can be made free of charge. After the IA deadline has passed (Thursday 15 February 2024), no refunds will be given for withdrawals. All withdrawals must be sent to your institution and emailed to Joe O’Loughlin

Events with Provision for Para-Cyclists

With the support of British Cycling, ¹û¶³ÊÓƵ offers entries for: 

Female: 200m Sprint, 500m Time Trial and 3000m Individual Pursuit. 

Open: 200m Sprint, 1km Time Trial and 4000m Individual Pursuit. 

How it Will Work:

Para-Cycling categories at our events will follow IPC Regulations and are open to those who are classified either with locomotive or learning disabilities. There will be separate Female and Open competitions. 

All para-cyclists are given a disability classification to allow them to compete. Para-cyclists of all eligible classifications will compete alongside each other and shall be ranked on a multi-classification basis using the UCI factoring system. If there are less than four para-cyclists entered in a category, they shall compete alongside the non-disabled cyclists but results for eligible para-cyclists shall be extracted. 

¹û¶³ÊÓƵ’ mission is to provide exceptional student sporting experiences that inspire, develop and unite.

Critical to our success is our commitment to always providing safe, friendly and enjoyable environments for all participants. Whether competing, coaching, officiating, volunteering, working or spectating at these events, the welfare of all is critical to our mission.
