UCI GRAN FONDO QUALIFICATION
The World Masters Road Championship are now known as the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. Full information and race format are available here: http://www.uciworldcyclingtour.com/ or http://www.ucigranfondoworldseries.com/
The 2023 event will take place on 4-7 August 2023 in Scotland. Central Scotland’s Perth and Kinross region – situated some 95km north of Glasgow - will host the Gran Fondo road races on Friday 4 August. Three days later, on Sunday 7 August, the nearby east coast city of Dundee and its wider county of Angus will provide the backdrop for the Gran Fondo time trials. The road races and time trials will take participants over beautiful but challenging courses across Perthshire, Dundee and Angus, encompassing historic cities, towns and villages in coastal and countryside settings.
For countries that do not have a Qualifying event (for 2023 this includes New Zealand), qualifying slots are offered through the National Championships or at a selection event as determined by the National Federation.
The 2023 selection event refers to the 2023 Age Group National Championship.
The winner in both the Time Trial and the Road Race at the selection event in each of these categories are offered an automatic slot to take part in the UCI Gran Fondo World Championship. In addition to the automatic slots offered above, there are 10 wildcard entries available. Five (5) for male and five (5) for females. Those riders wishing to be considered for the Wildcard slots shall be required to complete an online expression of interest within the application window - post event.

LICENCING
Sport Membership + Annual Race Licence
or
Sport Membership + Event Licence
In 2023, we are introducing an Event Licence to give you the flexibility to choose. Event Licences are available to be added onto Sport Memberships for selected domestic events for non-UCI categories only. This caters to those who want to give national-level racing a go, but don't need a licence for the whole season. The alternative to this is to add on an Annual Domestic Race Licence, which will licence you for racing all year.
Event Licences for Age Group Road Nationals are available for the following categories:
- U15, U17, U19, U23, Senior, Masters 1 - 10
(Para cycling grades are not eligible for an Event Licence at AGRN as for these events you will require a UCI ID, which an Event Licence does not provide)
Please note: to obtain an Event Licence, you must first hold a Sport Membership.
Age Group Road Nationals Event Licences can be purchased HERE.
