Para-cyclist results will be extracted from the main field of results on completion of the race and awarded placings in the ‘Para-Cycling Championships’. This placing is based on the UCI factoring table, with separate Men’s and Women’s para-competitions.

Para Cyclists results will also be shown within the main field and, if eligible, non-extracted times will be included in team points. 

Currently the Hill Climb Championships is open to Para Cyclists who use a standard bicycle with sport classes C1-C5. 

If you are a Para Cyclist that would like to take part but are not C1-C5, please contact Jude Pickett at the earliest convenience. If you believe you are a para-cyclists but you yet to be classified, please get in contact or approach your institution administer. 

As per REG 6.1.2.1.7, a competitor in the Para Cycling Championships must have beaten a fellow competitor within the same competition to be eligible for BUCS points, but all competitors finishing in the top three for any race will be awarded a BUCS medal.

In these championships, competitors race against the clock to secure the fastest time up the hill climb route as detailed above.   

Medals & points will be awarded:

Men's Individual

Men's Individual Para-Cycling

Institutions are permitted an unlimited number of non-guaranteed entries. Institutions must rank their competitors on BUCS Play in order of preference before the closing date. Should BUCS need to restrict entries, this will be done equally across institutions.

Where applicable all Para Athletes will be guaranteed entries.

No entries will be accepted on the day or after the closing deadline.

BUCS Points can be found here

BUCS points will not be allocated where: 

- The minimum number of competitors has not been reached

- Where there are not enough individual scores to extract a team score.

- An individual/team must have beaten another individual/team to score BUCS points (i.e. if three individuals finish an event, only two will score BUCS points).

This will be released closer to the competition date.
