Schedule & time zones
Daily schedules list local time (Kigali/CAT, UTC+2) alongside Central European time (CEST) for easy reference. As Kigali and most of Central Europe share UTC+2 in late September, European start times align neatly with local times. For the UK (BST, UTC+1), subtract one hour from the listed Kigali times; for US Eastern Time (ET, UTC-4), subtract six hours.
At a glance (high level):
- Sun 21 Sep: Opening individual time trials (Elite Women & Elite Men).
- Mid-week: Mixed Relay TTT and age-category time trials.
- Sat 27 Sep: Elite Women’s road race.
- Sun 28 Sep: Elite Men’s road race.
A full day-by-day running order includes event dates, start/finish windows, and medal ceremonies, plus broadcaster notes for each country.
