The 2024 UCI Road World Championships is taking place in Zürich, Switzerland, the largest city in the country, with events taking place over nine days.
This is the 97th edition of the event, which now sees 12 rainbow jerseys will be awarded across the different categories. It is also the first time the Para-cycling Road World Championships will be contested at the same time, with a further 24 jerseys on the line.
The battles for the rainbow bands begins with para-cycling time trials on the Saturday - 21 September - with the elite time trials following on Sunday, 22 September. There are 12 separate road events, with the under-23 women's road race combined with the elite road race for a second year.
Many of the races take place around the Zürich city circuit, a 26.8km loop with 447m of elevation, with almost all the road races finishing with differing numbers of laps of this, and the mixed relay TTT also using this.
The events are spread throughout the week, with the finalé coming on the final weekend, with the women's elite road racing on Saturday 28 September, and then the men's elite edition coming the next day.

Adam is Cycling Weekly’s news editor – his greatest love is road racing but as long as he is cycling, he's happy. Before joining CW in 2021 he spent two years writing for Procycling. He's usually out and about on the roads of Bristol and its surrounds.
Before cycling took over his professional life, he covered ecclesiastical matters at the world’s largest Anglican newspaper and politics at Business Insider. Don't ask how that is related to riding bikes.
