Two days of national championship cycling across the Isle of Man — time trial, closed-road road race and a Douglas Quay town-centre criterium, for riders from youths to over-75s.
The TLI Cycling National Championships return to the Isle of Man for the first time since 2022, hosted by Manx Viking Wheelers Cycling Club. Over one weekend the Island stages all three national championship disciplines — Individual Time Trial, Road Race and Town Centre Criterium — crowning multiple national champions in a single festival of racing. Saturday's action takes place on the scenic Stuggadhoo circuit in the south of the Island, with an open-road time trial followed by a closed-road road race. On Sunday the racing comes into the capital for a fast, spectator-friendly criterium on closed roads around Douglas Quay. Fields are split into age categories catering for everyone from youths through to over-75s, with male and female riders from across the Isle of Man and the UK. Free for spectators, it's a brilliant weekend to watch competitive cycling up close. Supported by www.visitisleofman.com.
Cost: Free to spectate. Rider entry approx £35 (with a £10 category), via TLI Cycling.
