USA Cycling Releases Exciting Schedule for 2024 National Championships

USA Cycling has recently announced the thrilling schedule for the 2024 USA Cycling National Championships. With a total of 18 championships spread across various disciplines including Road, Mountain, Track, Cyclocross, Gravel, BMX, and Esports, the upcoming season promises to deliver some of the most exciting races in the country. These events are expected to attract cyclists and fans from all over the nation, all competing for the prestigious national championship titles.

“The 2024 National Championships will be a testament to the passion and dedication of our members. They offer opportunity for everyone. To some, it’s an act of courage and ambition to merely participate. To others, Nationals are a critical step towards Olympic and World Championship dreams. Nationals are where lifelong memories are made, and we’re excited to showcase our most important events in such phenomenal communities,” said Brendan Quirk, President and CEO of USA Cycling.

Notably, there will be some modifications to the 2024 event schedule, particularly in the road events. The Pro Road National Championships will now include the Junior 17-18 and Under-23 events alongside the Elite categories. Meanwhile, the Junior events and Masters events for ages 11-16 and 35+ will unite in Augusta, Georgia, in late July.

To address previous crossover issues with Category 1 Men competing in both Amateur Road and Pro Road Nationals, the Cat 1 Men’s Road Race, Criterium, and Time Trial have been eliminated. However, Cat 1 racers will still have the opportunity to compete in Pro Road as part of a Domestic Elite Team or through a petition process.
