Banbridge CC Events Organizing Committee are pleased to advise that the Ulster Youth Road Championships have been rescheduled to take place later this month. After being postponed in August due to a conflict with the North West Youth Tour 2025 in the UK, the Ulster Youth Road Champ’s are now due to take place on Saturday 27th September. The event will be an “open” championship event meaning that young riders from outside Ulster are also welcome and encouraged to participate.

You can enter the event here.

Catering for boys and girls Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16, there will be a Time Trial (TT) option promoted in the morning followed by Road Races in the afternoon. The TT will be the same course and distance for all categories, starting from the Event HQ in Annaclone for a straight run to the outskirts of the city of Banbridge over a total distance of 8km. The profile of the course can be seen here. The first rider will start at 10:01.

The Road Races will start from 12:30. Riders U14 & U16 will be the first to leave the Event HQ, riding together in neutral to the start/finish line on the traditional Annaclone GP circuit.

Under 12 riders will leave Event HQ at 12:40, neutral riding for approx. 1.5km until the marked starters are thrown to a rolling start. They will race for 7km, finishing at the famous Hawthorn Inn finish line. The course profile can be viewed here.

Under 16 riders will start their race at the Hawthorn Inn at approx. 13:15. They will complete 4 laps of the Annaclone GP circuit for a total distance of 50km.
