Road closures planned for historic Women Riders World Relay event
This weekend marks a significant milestone for the Isle of Man TT Festival, as Glencrutchery Road will close temporarily to accommodate one of the most anticipated events of the racing calendar. The TT Legacy Lap is making history by being led by women riders for the first time, in partnership with the Women Riders World Relay—a moment that celebrates the growing presence of female competitors in this iconic motorsport event.
Visitors and residents should be aware that the southbound lane of Glencrutchery Road will be closed from Victoria Road to St Ninian's crossroads on Sunday, 31 May, between 8:30am and 10:30am. The Department of Infrastructure has confirmed this two-hour closure is necessary to allow riders to gather at the TT Grandstand before embarking on their lap around the famous course.
If you're planning to watch the Legacy Lap or explore the TT paddock area, allow extra time for travel and consider using alternative routes during this window. The closure represents a unique opportunity to witness a groundbreaking moment in TT history, as women take the lead in this legendary relay event for the very first time.
Whether you're a motorsport enthusiast or simply exploring the Isle of Man during TT Festival week, this historic event is a must-see. Plan ahead, arrive early, and be part of a racing tradition that's evolving before your eyes.
