Launching an event amidst a pandemic

These have been challenging times for everyone across the globe, and from a sporting perspective, we know how much sports enthusiasts in this country have struggled to follow their passions. Our riders, staff and contractor’s safety is paramount, so we will be ensuring all safety measures are in place following all government guidance. Our goal with the King’s Cup Gravel Festival is to celebrate the return to sport as soon as government regulations permit and once we are absolutely certain, we can keep our participants safe and healthy. We have contingency plans in place to allow us to dynamically adjust the event date into October or 2021.

Pre-registration

With many sporting events across the country being cancelled throughout the year and riders being left disappointed and frustrated, we at Golazo Cycling want to provide participants with the confidence and peace-of-mind to enter events again. Therefore we have introduced a free-of-charge pre-registration system for King’s Cup Gravel Festival. Riders simply register their personal details and express their interest in participating, without having to pay an entry fee. Pre-registered riders will guarantee a spot at the King’s Cup Gravel Festival when it goes ahead and receive a hugely discounted entry fee. Entry fees are only collected at a later date when the event date is confirmed. Pre-registration launches on Monday, August 3rd 2020.
 
 
The weekend at the King’s Cup Gravel Festival will be a true celebration of cycling at all levels and the return to sport.
 
Tom Caldwell, Director of Golazo Cycling, said: "We’re thrilled to be hosting the first-ever British Gravel Championships at the King’s Cup Gravel Festival. This will be a truly exciting event, which will see all abilities of riders taking on various events throughout the weekend. Not only will those riders who like to ride on gravel and off-road terrains be able to ride alongside thousands of other riders but we’ll also get to see some top amateur riders race for the British title and jersey."

"While these championships represent the pinnacle of amateur gravel racing, they are also a celebration of cycling as a whole." 

"This festival will be unlike anything witnessed before and fits perfectly with our core mission to create a partnership between elite sports and mass participation. Our objective is to encourage more people to live healthier lifestyles through participation in sports - Let’s Move."
