Starting in February with the esports championships, USA Cycling's 2025 lineup of national championship eventswill be held for 10 different disciplines and in 12 different states.
The full lineup includes 17 different championship events across the road, mountain, track, cyclocross, gravel, BMX, Gran Fondo and esports cycling disciplines at the elite, junior, collegiate, para and masters levels.
“We’re still on Cloud 9 from the record-breaking performances of Team USA cyclists at the Paris 2024 Olympics. That spirit of dreaming big is what makes our National Championships so meaningful,” said Brendan Quirk, USA Cycling's President and CEO, in a statement.

There’s something for everyone, and we welcome all our members to pick a National Championship and set their own personal goals.”
