Even during the USSR time cycling on Khreschatyk Street in the Day of Kyiv was one of the main attributes and traditions of the holiday, performed with great resonance and mass audience.

But in 2008, the capital cycling was revived and acquired a new name - Race Horizon Park, and greatly expanded the number and level of activities.

In addition to the image and prestige, this status greatly expanded the number of participants, the length of the route, the level of judges and the professionalism of riders.

In 2014, the UCI confirmed the holding of the three-day international cycling Race Horizon Park in Kyiv.

For the first time Friday`s cycling route of the Horizon Park Race for Peace was held not in the city, but near Kyiv (to avoid traffic jams).

It allowed the Ukrainian athletes, who had won the races, to take two licenses for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

In honor of the holiday the «Ukrposhta» released a special commemorative stamp – the 5 years Race Horizon Park.

The main judge of the Race Horizon Park in 2017 was the famous UCI Commissioner Jakob Knudsen (Denmark).

The route was changed to make the race bigger and more accessible to viewers from more remote areas of Kyiv.

Another feature of Horizon Park Race Maidan was a special interim award from Andrei Grivko, the best rider of Ukraine, representing the colors of Kazakhstan team Astana.
