The Guyana Cycling Federation’s (GCF’s) National Championships are scheduled to take place in June, and three separate dates are reserved for the events: June 16, 23, and 30. Time trials on the Heroes Highway circuit kick off the peloton’s June 16th activity.
There are several divisions involved in those activities: Masters, Juniors, Women, and Juveniles will race a single lap (14.5 km/9 miles), while the Elite competitors would be facing a challenging double-lap (29km/18 miles).

On June 23, the Masters and Juniors Road Race will take place. Starting at the Soesdyke junction, riders will proceed along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway to Silver Hill, before returning for the finish line. This will be a strenuous 100km (62 mile) ride.
On June 23, the starting line for the road race for women and juveniles will be the same, albeit with a somewhat abbreviated course. They will race 32 miles (51.5 km) in total, with a turnaround at the highway toll booth.
The renowned Elite Cycling Championships will take place on June 30th to wrap up these national cycling activities.
Cyclists will have to complete a 157km (98 miles) course in this demanding race. Starting at the KD&J Supermarket in Linden, the course winds through the town and out onto the Soesdyke-Linden Highway, before coming back for a conclusion. It is a five-lap circuit.
