Paris-Roubaix 2024 will be held on 7 April, with the women's race held on 6 April.

One of the most popular races on the calendar, the 'Hell of the North' – or 'Queen of the Classics' if you prefer – can be in turn dusty and dry, or wet and muddy, but it is always a spectacle.

The men's race has not started in the French capital of Paris for some time, but rather a few miles north in the town of Compiègne. From there, the riders will embark on a gruelling 257km ride to Roubaix. The women start at Denain, which is roughly south of Roubaix and the winding parcours take in many of the famous sectors.

The finish is a unique one, with the riders coming onto Roubaix's outdoor velodrome to do a lap and a half to the line. Signifying the end of the Northern cobbled Classics, its finale being in the iconic Roubaix velodrome on the Belgian border only adds to the show.

This will be the fourth edition of the women's race – the Paris-Roubaix Femmes – which was won last year by Canadian Alison Jackson of EF Education–Tibco–SVB. 

Last year's men's race featured 29 cobbled sectors, including some of the most famous in cycling like the Forest of Arenberg, Mons-en-Pévèle, and Carrefour de l’Arbre. Mathieu van der Poel of Alpecin–Deceuninck took the win on Vélodrome André-Pétrieux in the fastest Paris-Roubaix in history (5:28:40), beating Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) and Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) by 46 seconds.
