It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the fourth World Cyclo-cross Championships to be held in Tábor in 2024. Tábor has a long history of hosting world-class cyclocross races at the Komora Sports Complex, which boasts an amazing cyclocross environment.

Cyclocross is an exciting sport that combines speed, agility, toughness and a strong dose of adrenaline. Tábor is already well known in the cyclocross community and we believe that hosting the World Cyclocross Championships in 2024 will make the South Bohemia region and the Czech Republic even more visible on the world stage. We are convinced that this event will be an unforgettable and successful continuation of the sporting experience provided by the previous World Championships held in Tábor.

In 2001, Tábor hosted the first World Cyclo-cross Championships, where our representatives won six valuable medals. In 2010, Zdeněk Štybar triumphed in the elite category, supported by Tomáš Paprstka's victory in the junior category. In 2015, Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert competed in the elite category for the first time.

In addition to these memorable events, Tábor has hosted many other successful cyclocross races over the years. Our city has a strong tradition in this sport and we are proud to continue this legacy for the upcoming World Cyclo-cross Championships in 2024. As organisers, we have extensive experience in organising top-level cyclo-cross races and will strive to create the ideal conditions for excellent sporting performances by riders. We look forward to welcoming fans from all over the world to witness these exceptional performances and become part of Tábor's cyclocross history.
