Brand spaces at Cyclo-Cross National Champs 2025

The 2024/5 British Cycling Cyclo-Cross National Championships will be held for the second time at Cyclopark in Kent, over the weekend of Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th January.

The cream of Britain’s cyclo-cross talent will descend on the riverside town of Gravesend for the chance to win the red, white and blue jersey of Great Britain. National jerseys will be up for grabs for six men and six women across a variety of age groups. Meanwhile, the event will include some space for brands to exhibit over the two days.

When the venue last hosted the National Championships in 2019, a young Tom Pidcock was first over the line in the men’s race to secure his first of two senior British national cyclo-cross titles, while in the women’s elite race, Nikki Brammeier regained the title she’d last won in 2017.

“It’s wonderful that the British Cycling Cyclo-Cross National Championships will be returning to Cyclopark. Over 5,000 people attended the event in 2019 and were treated to some incredible action and of course witnessed an early win in Tom’s career. Since then, the venue has continued to evolve, offering excellent facilities and coaching to develop the next generation of cyclo-cross riders, road cyclists and BMX racers,” said the CEO of the Cyclopark Charity, Jonny Hamp. “The Cyclopark Charity is eagerly looking forward to welcoming many more fans, competitors and members of the bicycle trade to the venue to watch the next Championships and see the great facilities on to offer for grassroots riders through to elite athletes.”

Race Director for the Championships will be Bruce Sandell. Bruce is well-known to the UK bike trade in his roles at Rouleur, RGT Cycling and more recently with Wahoo Fitness. A long-time member of the Southborough & District Wheelers, Bruce’s cyclo-cross credentials have been honed organising races for the club and the London & South-East Cyclo-Cross League. The cycling team at the Cyclopark Charity also includes Luke Anderson, formerly at British Cycling as a Go-Ride Coach and Regional Manager for the Southeast who worked closely with the venue on all major events and supported the development of many club and community programmes.

The venue offers excellent access to the M25 in under 10 minutes, on-site parking and for overnight stayers has a Travelodge conveniently located on its doorstep. A limited number of spaces are available for brands at the Championships, with activations available from £300 for the weekend.
