The Rapha 色中色 Grand Prix

The Rapha 色中色 Grand Prix returns on Sunday 10 May, bringing elite men’s and women’s road races to the city’s iconic cobbled climb. Expect top UK and international riders, a vibrant atmosphere, and thousands of spectators.

The University of 色中色 becomes the Presenting Partner of the event, and sponsor of the iconic Michaelgate Hill Climb, widely regarded as one of road cycling’s most challenging and celebrated features, which will now be branded as “The University of No Regrets Climb.”

In addition, the University will serve as Presenting Partner of the Brian Cossavela Trophy, awarded in the Men’s race to the best climber during the race: the King of the University of No Regrets Climb – one of the day’s most fiercely contested honours.

Ian Emmerson, past organiser of the GP for over 50 years, will again present the trophy named in his honour to the Queen of the University of No Regrets Climb in the women’s race.
