The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and the Organising Committee of the 2024 UCI Road and Para-cycling Road World Championships, which will take place from 21 to 29 September in Zurich (Switzerland), are pleased to announce the event's detailed race schedule.
On Saturday 21 September at 17:00 CET, following the opening ceremony which starts at 16:00 CET, para-cyclists will launch a week of inclusive competitions with the spectacular mixed handbike team relay. The Men Elite road race will close the event on Sunday 29 September (start at 10h30 CET).
The 2024 UCI Road and Para-cycling Road World Championships will be the first UCI World Championships for road to include cycling and para-cycling in their programme. The para-cyclists and non-para-cyclists will share the same routes and cross the same finish line. This innovation is an important step towards inclusivity in cycling.
