COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 17, 2025) — USA Cycling has announced the full schedule for the 2026 USA Cycling National Championships, outlining dates and host locations across road, mountain bike, track, cyclocross, gravel, BMX, paracycling, and esports disciplines.
The 2026 calendar spans the entire racing year and is expected to draw thousands of competitors and spectators from across the country, all competing for national titles and the coveted Stars and Stripes jersey.
“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 to finish in the top half of your age group, nothing is as motivating as Nationals. We’re excited to return to so many proven, high-quality venues. Communities such as Fayetteville, Charleston, Roanoke, and Milwaukee are proving their wholehearted commitment to bike racing. 2026 will be another fabulous season.”
Several familiar host cities return in 2026. Pro Road National Championships will once again take place in Charleston, West Virginia, featuring Elite, Under-23, and Junior 17–18 categories. Endurance Mountain Bike Nationals return to Roanoke, Virginia, with a full week of racing that includes short track, cross-country, and marathon events. Gravel Nationals head back to La Crescent, Minnesota, while Cyclocross Nationals close out the year in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Wisconsin will once again serve as a national championship hub. Trek Bicycle will host Collegiate Road Nationals in Madison, while the Tour of America’s Dairyland will host Masters and Junior Road Nationals in the greater Milwaukee area.
The 2026 schedule also includes several new additions and standalone events. Esports National Championships, presented by TrainingPeaks Virtual and delivered in partnership with Echelon Racing Promotions, will open the championship season. Collegiate Gravel Nationals will debut in Texas, BMX Freestyle Nationals will take place in South Jordan, Utah, and Paracycling Road Nationals will be held as a standalone championship in Bentonville, Arkansas.
