USA Cycling today revealed its lineup of national championship events, which spans a full 12 months across 16 states and one virtual world.
The schedule features 21 championship events across road, mountain, track, cyclocross, gravel, BMX, Gran Fondo, and esports disciplines, encompassing elite, junior, collegiate, para, and masters categories.
“The pinnacle experience of a USA Cycling member is competing in a National Championship event,” said USA Cycling President and CEO Brendan Quirk. “Whether your goal is to win a Stars and Stripes jersey or simply finish in the top half of your age group, nothing is as motivating as Nationals.”
Pro Road Nationals returns to Charleston, W.Va., in June, for the elite, under-23, and junior 17–18 fields. Charleston first hosted the championships in 2024, and USA Cycling plans to return to the city for several more years. The time trial course is pan-flat, while the road race offers a punchy challenge, featuring 1,126 feet of elevation gain per 13-mile lap. In 2025, Kristen Faulkner and Quinn Simmons each claimed their second elite national titles, setting the stage for a potential hat trick in 2026.
