Day 1 – 20 June

Stage 1 – Individual Time Trial: 2.5km, one lap of the circuit (anticlockwise)

Day 2 – 21 June
Lydden Hill Race Circuit (CT4 6RY)
Located between Canterbury and Dover, Lydden Hill will host the Queen Stage, the decisive stage of the weekend on a challenging and punchy circuit.
The last time Lydden Hill hosted a National Youth race was in 2021, when current WorldTour stars Matthew Brennan and Cat Ferguson both shined in the race.
