The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and the organisers of the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships taking place in Glasgow and across Scotland today revealed that the event’s mountain bike cross-country and cross-country Marathon competitions will take place in Glentress.
One of Scotland’s most renowned mountain bike locations, Glentress Forest is located just over 90km south-east of Glasgow, in Tweed Valley in the Scottish Borders. It is the ninth location to be announced as a host of the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships taking place from 3 to 13 August 2023. Glentress is the fourth venue announced outside Glasgow, after Dumfries & Galloway for the para-cycling road competitions, Stirling for the road time trials and Fort William for mountain bike downhill.
Additional venues and locations for the different UCI World Championships included in the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships will be confirmed in the coming weeks and months.
