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.

“For some, it’s about winning a title and qualifying for the World Championships. And for others, it’s about having the courage to sign up and test themselves for the first time against national-caliber competition. There’s something for everyone, and we welcome all our members to pick a National Championship and set their own personal goals.”

For the first time, the eSports championships will be held on the UCI-approved MyWhoosh virtual cycling platform. Madison, Wisconsin-based Trek Bicycle will host the Collegiate Road Nationals at its grounds. The Masters and Junior Road Nationals will also take place in Wisconsin in conjunction with the multi-day Tour of America’s Dairylands.

Following an exciting showcasing in which the EF Education teams won big, the Elite-level criterium, time trial and road race championships will again be held in Charleston, West Virginia. The EF Education men's and women's teams walked away with three national titles and six medals, with Kristen Faulkner and Sean Quinn victorious in the road races and recently retired Coryn Labecki secured her 74th national title by winning the criterium race,

Cycling Weekly's North American Editor, Anne-Marije Rook is old school. She holds a degree in journalism and started out as a newspaper reporter — in print! She can even be seen bringing a pen and notepad to the press conference.

Originally from the Netherlands, she grew up a bike commuter and didn't find bike racing until her early twenties when living in Seattle, Washington. Strengthened by the many miles spent darting around Seattle's hilly streets on a steel single speed, Rook's progression in the sport was a quick one. As she competed at the elite level, her journalism career followed, and soon, she became a full-time cycling journalist. She's now been a journalist for two decades, including 12 years in cycling.
