Race information
The Scottish Borders will host the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women for the first time this June, as stage three of the UCI Women’s WorldTour event comes to Kelso on Saturday 7June.

Stage three, the penultimate leg of the 2025 race and the ‘Queen Stage’, will again start and finish in The Square in Kelso with riders tackling a testing and spectator friendly stage route around the Eildon Hills similar to that raced on by the men in 2024.
The route will include visits to Melrose, Denholm, and Jedburgh, as well as a passage of the finish line on Kelso’s cobbled market square, with full details, including Queen of the Mountains and Sprint locations, to be announced in the coming weeks.
Further announcements, including the detailed route and the participating teams for the 2025 Lloyds Tour of Britain Women, will be announced in the coming weeks.
