The Philippine Cycling Federation (PhilCycling) has announced that the 2024 national road cycling championships will be held on February 5-9 in Tagaytay City.
The event was originally scheduled for later in the year, but PhilCycling president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino said the early schedule will give national coaches more time to prepare for the 2025 Southeast Asian Games and the 2026 Asian Games.
The qualifiers for the nationals will be based on major domestic and sanctioned races in 2023. The results of the Philippine National Games (PNG) and Batang Pinoy next month in Tagaytay City will also be considered.
Competitions will be held in Criterium, Individual Time Trial, and Individual Road Race for Men and Women in Youth (under 16), Juniors (17-18), Under 23, and Elite categories.
The top 10 finishers in each of the events at the 2023 Nationals will be seeded to next year’s Road championships, along with the top 25 riders in the PNG-Batang Pinoy races.
The top 25 riders in the sanctioned races in 2023 will also be accorded ranking points for consideration for the National Championships.
The list of qualifiers will be announced immediately after the PNG and Batang Pinoy.
