The event is set to take place on January 25th and, like the eSports Winter Series, will be hosted by Racing Without Borders.

The National Championships will be divided into two categories, Women and Open, with the women’s race taking place at 12.30pm and the Open race to follow at 2pm.

The event will be hosted through Zwift, where accepted riders will receive a unique link for the event.

The Open race will take in two laps of the Braek-fast Crits and Grits route, with the women’s race completing one lap of the route. BRAEk-fast Crits & Grits gets its name from a signature feature: 3 full laps of the Breakaway Brae loop (aka “Nessie’s Loop”). The route also starts and finishes up the Sgurr Summit South climb, which is sure to force key selections in any race.
