The Sport Ireland Campus in Blanchardstown is set to host a key round of the 2022-2023 UCI Cyclocross World Cup on December 11th. It will be the 9th round in a total of 14 events, starting on October 9th in Waterloo, USA.

The west-Dublin venue will host some of the leading lights of international cyclocross in the first event of its kind to be hosted in Ireland.

Cyclocross (also known as CX) is one of the most fast paced and accessible disciplines in all of cycling. The discipline – likened to cross-country running on wheels – combines many of the skills used in standard road and mountain biking with an added emphasis being placed on bike handling skills as the riders navigate the sometimes bumpy and muddy terrain.

Irish Village Markets will be onsite providing refreshments and the street food.
