Cobbles, corners and plenty of sprints
Promoted by Charlotteville Cycling Club since 1984, the annual Town Centre Races are fought on Guildford’s notoriously tough course, with its cobbled climb up the High Street and tight, narrow corners out of North Street.
This year the Guildford Town Centre Races will culminate with Round 3 of the National Circuit Series, on an extended course, attracting some of the countries top men and women and certain to make for a riveting spectacle of sport.
As well as the main event a programme of supporting events is also offered including the ever popular ‘youngsters’ races where many top cyclists of the future get their first opportunity to ride in such a big event. The biggest applause is often saved for the smallest riders!
Come along and enjoy a summer evening of sport in the heart of Guildford!
The Course
A CHALLENGING COURSE THAT DEMANDS FULL ATTENTION AT ALL TIMES. THE RACE ENTAILS LAPS OF A TIGHT CIRCUIT WITH HAIR PIN BENDS, COBBLES AND A BRUTAL CLIMB TO THE FINISH LINE.
