ROUTES & RACE FORMAT
In the MyWhoosh Championship, riders can expect to race across some of the most breathtaking routes that we have to offer with a variety of stages. There will also be one rest day in between.
Each stage will feature a new course, with men racing for 70km and women for 50km. No two days will be the same, with racers taking on routes across the MyWhoosh universe. Each road stage will have a variety of sprint and climb segments, all ranging in distance, and day six will consist of a time trial. The race starts flat for the sprinters and increases elevation for the climbers each day, building to the 5th stage with almost 1800m of climbing for men and 1100m for women. On the penultimate day, a time trial will help before finishing with a flat stage to give the sprinters one last chance for glory.
Every day will include sprint/climb segments except for Stage 6 which will be in a time trial style, with no drafting, but will still be a mass-start, first-across-the-finish format. Each race will have handicaps for different categories. Each category will have its own start times.
Throughout the championship, men will complete 460km of racing with nearly 6000m of climbing and women will complete 330km of racing with nearly 4000m of climbing.
Registrations for the MyWhoosh Championship are now open and will close on 17th April 2023. All participants will be required to register for the event on the Events page of our website.
Best of luck!
