Course locations announced for AusCycling road championship in Perth

AusCycling has announced the competition course locations for its Road National Championships, which will be held in Perth early 2025 for the first time since 1997.

It's the first time in nearly 20 years the prestigious event has been held outside Victoria, and is expected to attract close to 20,000 visitors to Western Australia over the three years, generating tens of millions of dollars into the local economy.

Three events will take place from 8th-12th January 2025 across Kings Park, Northbridge and Perth CBD

Thousands of elite cyclists are expected to participate in the three events taking place from 8th-12th January 2025 across Kings Park, Northbridge and Perth CBD

The Championship includes three events - time trials; a criterium event, which is a bike race consisting of several laps around a close circuit; and a road race.

The time trials will run from 8th-9th January and follow a 9.8-kilometre circuit through Bold Park, with elite men completing four laps (39.2km) and elite women completing three laps (29.4km).

A 1.3km technical street circuit through Northbridge will be set up for the criterium event on 10th January, which will also be on display for attendees to enjoy through a broadcast on the Northbridge Piazza's outdoor LED screen.

The national road race - the pinnacle event - will round out the championships from 11th-12th January, starting and finishing in Perth's Kings Park and weaving through the heart of the CBD and alongside the Swan River in a 13.6km circuit.
