Beverley Grand Prix makes a return in 2024 : new date announced
Fri 26th April 2024
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is delighted to announce that the Beverley Grand Prix will now be run on Friday, 26 July, 2024 and will be the British Cycling National Circuit Series finale, bringing to a close a six week long nationwide series of events.
There will be everything to fight for as the series comes to Beverley with the best cyclists competing on the night, culminating in the award of series champion.
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. This will start around 4pm with a community ride in memory of Ian Burnett, giving families a chance to experience a national level cycling event in the safety of closed roads around the town.
Multiple youth races and a support race will precede the two joint headline events as the evening draws to a close around 10pm.
