UCI Masters
World Championships

August 21 to 23, 2019

Come and ride the legendary Mont-Sainte-Anne!

There are two disciplines in the UCI Masters World Championships: Olympic Cross-Country (XCO) and Downhill (DH). The Championships are open to all athletes over 30 years old who aren’t active in the UCI circuit. Each participant must have valid UCI license or the equivalent of a national federation. The winners in each age category get to take home a World Champion rainbow jersey.

The Masters were part of the World Championships from the early

1990s through to 1999, when they became a separate event (with some rare exceptions, like at Mont-Sainte-Anne in 2019).
The courses used can either be the same as for the Elite World Championships or vary in some sections.

Registration will be open at the beginning of 2019.
