Start Giro d'Utrecht en Utrecht Marathon 19 mei in USP

On Sunday 19 May next, the start of the cycling event Giro d'Utrecht and the Utrecht Marathon are planned in the Utrecht Science Park. These events have an impact on the USP's accessibility.

Giro d'Utrecht

Giro d'Utrecht is a cycling event for road cyclists with distances of 70, 110 or 150 km. All participants start at the car park (P6) at Padualaan, near Grand Café Living at the Utrecht Science Park. The start area is open to participants and the public from 07.30 in the morning and closes at 17.00 on the same day. During this time period, an occasional speaker with microphone will be heard and a band will perform on stage at this location in the afternoon.

Construction work

Construction activities will start on Saturday 18 May at the P6 Padualaan car park. This means we advise cyclists to avoid Padualaan on that day and use the cycle lane on Cambridgelaan.
