Location: Warwick

Sports: Cycling road race

About 160 cyclists are set to gather at St Nicholas Park for the road race scheduled to be held on the penultimate day of the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

After competing in the time trial at West Park in Wolverhampton on August 4, some riders will then head to Warwick on August 7 and aim to come out on top in the road race.

The women’s and men’s events will start and finish at St Nicholas Park, situated in Warwick town centre and close to Warwick Rail Station.

Originally a meadow, the park was laid out in the 1930s before the St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre was later built to replace the outdoor swimming pool.

A funfair, paddling pool, skate park, BMX track, nine-hole crazy golf course, tennis courts and football pitches also feature at the park which is situated alongside the River Avon.

Spectators will be able to line the route of the road race, which is set to pass Warwick Castle, built by William the Conqueror in 1068.
