Commonwealth Games 2018 road course
Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games road race course
The course for the 2018 Commonwealth Games road race is one that will favour sprinters.
All events begin at Currumbin Beach. The men will complete nine laps of an 18.7km circuit, and the women six.
Organisers have called the course “challenging” but Strava uploads show just a few short ramps.
The time trial – 37.8km for men and 24.5km for women – will be an out-and-back urban affair.

At the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, there were seven gold medals for Australia, four for New Zealand, and four for England (Joanna Rowsell in the women’s 3,000m individual pursuit and Laura Trott in the women’s points race, plus wins in the women’s Para-Sport 1000m Time Trial B Tandem and Sprint B Tandem). Scotland won two gold medals on home turf, both in the men’s Para-Sport B Tandem events.
