Victoria, BC, June 5, 2018 – National titles were awarded across seven categories for women and men over the weekend of June 1-3 at the 2018 Global Relay Masters Canadian Road Championships in Victoria, BC. A total of 21 titles were won in the Time Trial, Road Race and Criterium events, with champions coming from all across the country, from Newfoundland to British Columbia.

With hundreds of competitors on the start line and an impressive depth of field, only one athlete managed to take multiple titles. Carolyn Russell (Pender Racing p/b La Bicicletta), last year’s road champion, won gold medals for both the Road Race and the Criterium in the women’s 40-49 category.

“We are very excited to have shared in the success of our newly crowned Masters Champions in beautiful Victoria, BC,” said Josh Peacock, Competition Coordinator at Cycling Canada. “The organization did a tremendous job to secure challenging courses in some of Victoria’s most iconic backdrops.
