About the UCI BMX World Championships
The annual Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), BMX World Championships have been held all around the world since 1993. The first World Championships was held 1982 in Dayton Ohio, USA Since then winners race in age and championship classes in both 20 inch and 24 inch or cruiser class. All riders making the final are awarded plates with 1 to 8 which they can use in international competitions. Elite riders receive medals while other divisions receive trophies. The coveted World Championship jersey with rainbow stripes will be awarded to the elite and junior men's and women's winners.
Located within the Adelaide Showgrounds, the 2009 UCI BMX World Championship track venue will feature over 9,000 square metres of floor space under 1 roof, with 10 grandstands. The hall provides space for riders to have a full size track of more than 350 metres in length with variance on berms and straights.
