News: British Champs to Return to Shrewsbury

British Cycling is pleased to confirm that Shrewsbury Sports Village will host the 2020 National Cyclo-cross Championships. The championships will take place between 11 and 12 January 2020, representing a return to the well-established Shropshire venue which last hosted the championships in 2016.

The announcement comes off the back of the staging of this year’s championships, which were held at Gravesend’s Cyclopark at saw Nikki Brammeier and Tom Pidcock respectively claim the elite national titles.

Event organiser Dave Mellor, of Mid Shropshire Wheelers, said: “We are delighted to be staging the 2020 National Cyclo-cross Championships at Shrewsbury Sports Village. We implemented several key course changes for this season’s round of the National Trophy Series, which resulted in riders tackling the course in the opposite direction to that of recent years. These changes were well received, and will provide a good basis for the organisation of next year’s national championships.”

British Cycling has also confirmed the six host venues for the 2019/20 National Trophy Series, which will begin at Moorways, Derby, and conclude at York Sport Village. Two venues – Westmorland Showground in Cumbria and Pembrey Country Park in Carmarthenshire – will make their debut appearances in the series, while Irvine Beach Park and the South of England Showground will also host rounds.

Full dates of the 2019/20 National Trophy Series:

Round one: 21-22 September, 2019 – Moorways, Derby
