Paul Van Katwyk Easter Festival of Cycling 2023

Our long running Easter road race festival is open to non-members and members alike. It was named in memory of Club stalwart Paul who died in 2019 and, in its current guise, is run as a 3-day stage race over the Easter bank holiday weekend comprising of a time trial, crit race, and road race, with the overall winner decided on a ‘points per stage’ basis. Whilst the winner may get the headlines, the Paul Van Katwyk Trophy is awarded to the rider who has embodied the spirit of competitiveness, sportsmanship and good humour over the whole weekend.


The weekend is open to both members and non members and your entry fee includes Breakfast at the Trophy Presentation at Guernsey Pearl after the final race on Easter Monday. There are 2 categories - Club is the full distance whilst Fun is a shorter distance for both the Crit & Road Race - You can enter either category.
