Beverley Grand Prix Makes A Return In 2024

After several years, the British Cycling National Circuit Series returns to the historic streets of Beverley town centre on Friday, 19 July, 2024, bringing future stars of the sport to compete in this prestigious series.

Last run in 2017, the Beverley Grand Prix has in recent memory produced such winners as Brenton Jones, Chris Lawless, and three times Olympic gold medallist, Ed Clancy OBE.

In the weeks before the Paris Olympic Games, Beverley Grand Prix will proudly bring round six of the Open and Women’s National Circuit Series for an evening of fast, thrilling cycle racing action which will commence around 4pm with a community ride giving families a chance to experience a national level cycling event in the safety of closed roads around the town.

In advance of the competitive races, there will be a Community Ride, aimed at our younger riders, which will give opportunity to ride ‘traffic free’ around the course with your friends and family - see the event website for details. Multiple youth races and a support race will precede the two joint headline events as the evening draws to a close around 10pm.
