Lloyds National Road Championships to return to Ceredigion in 2026
Ceredigion is set to welcome the Lloyds National Road Championships once again in 2026, with the event taking place from 25–28 June 2026.
Across three days of elite racing, the Time Trial, Circuit Race and Road Race Championships will take place in locations across the county. The Time Trial Championships will be held in Lampeter, with the Circuit Race and Road Race Championships starting once again in Aberystwyth. Full routes will be announced in due course.
Ceredigion successfully hosted the Championships in 2025, which saw large crowds gather to watch top British riders compete for national titles. Zoe Backstedt, Ethan Hayter, Cameron Mason, Kate Richardson, Mille Couzens and Samuel Watson were crowned elite champions during an exciting weekend of racing.
The continued partnership supports Wales’ ambition to stage world-class cycling events over the coming years, including stage three of the 2027 Tour de France Grand Départ, which will take place between Welshpool and Cardiff.
From the streets of Aberystwyth to the mountains at the heart of the south Wales valleys that’ll form part of the Tour de France Grand Départ route, we are determined that every part of Wales has the opportunity to share in the passion and economic benefits that major cycling events bring. Although Ceredigion doesn’t sit on the TdF route, events like this show outstanding cycling belongs across the whole of Wales – and we are committed to making that a reality.”
The Championships are expected to continue delivering significant economic and social benefits to communities across Ceredigion and Wales as a whole. For more information, visit British Cycling
