SUMMARY:Arizona Track Championships
DESCRIPTION:For the first time\, the Arizona Track Championships are coming to the new Tucson Velodrome\, September 12–13\, 2026. This is a pretty big deal for Arizona cycling. After years of Arizona riders having to travel to California to compete for track state championships\, we finally have a velodrome of our own and a championship weekend right here in Tucson. \nThe two-day event will showcase just about everything that makes track racing so much fun to watch and race. Saturday is all about speed against the clock\, with the Flying 200\, 500m and 1km time trials\, individual pursuits from 2km to 4km\, and Team Time Trials. Sunday brings riders together for Scratch Races for men\, women\, masters and juniors\, followed by the Team Sprint. Categories range from juniors as young as nine through masters racers 75+\, giving generations of Arizona cyclists an opportunity to race on their home track. \nRacing starts at 7:00 a.m. both days\, with the track open for warm-up and rider check-in from 6:00–7:00 a.m. Arizona championship eligibility requires Arizona residency and a current annual USA Cycling license. Races are $15 each\, with online registration required. \nMore than another race weekend\, this feels like a milestone for cycling in Arizona. We finally have a velodrome\, and now we finally get to host our own state track championships at home. Even if you have never raced on a track\, this is a great weekend to come out\, cheer on Arizona’s riders and experience an entirely different kind of bicycle racing.

SUMMARY:Mt. Graham- State Hill Climb Championships
DESCRIPTION:The Mt. Graham Hill Climb is one of Arizona’s classic tests on two wheels and the Arizona State Hill Climb Championship. Starting outside Safford\, the race heads straight up the Swift Trail into the Pinaleño Mountains\, trading Sonoran Desert for pine forest and cool mountain air as the road climbs higher and higher. \nAnd when we say climb\, we mean climb. The full course is roughly 20 miles with about 5\,700 feet of elevation gain\, making Mt. Graham one of the biggest sustained road climbs in Arizona. Shorter 10-mile categories are offered for some age and masters divisions. \nThis isn’t a ride where you’re wondering when the next hill starts. The hill is the ride. Pace yourself\, settle into a rhythm\, enjoy the changing landscape and try to remember to look around occasionally as you climb thousands of feet above the desert floor. \nFor racers\, there are Arizona State Championship titles on the line. For everyone else\, there is the satisfaction of reaching the top of one of the most formidable paved climbs in the Southwest. \n20 miles. 5\,700 feet of climbing. One very large mountain. \nSeptember 20\, 2026 | Safford\, Arizona\n47th Annual Mt. Graham Hill Climb

SUMMARY:Sonoran Shred XC
DESCRIPTION:The Arizona XC Championships come to Southern Arizona on Saturday\, September 26\, 2026\, with the Sonoran Shred at McKenzie Ranch Race Course in Vail. This purpose-built mountain bike venue sits within a 1\,700-acre Pima County natural open-space park\, with more than 99% of the property remaining natural desert. It was Southern Arizona’s first park built with a dedicated competitive mountain bike loop. \nMcKenzie Ranch is also a beautiful place to race. Sitting in the foothills of the southern Rincon Mountains\, the ranch lies in a transition zone between the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts\, creating a landscape a little different from what riders see closer to Tucson. The rolling grass-and-desert terrain includes mesquite\, acacia\, prickly pear\, cholla and stands of ocotillo that can put on a spectacular show when conditions bring them into bloom. Keep your eyes open beyond the racers\, too. This is wild desert country\, where birds\, rabbits and other desert wildlife are part of the surroundings. \nThe main XC race uses the Lozen Loop\, a smooth and fast 6.6-mile lap with approximately 494 feet of climbing. Rather than being dominated by highly technical rock features\, McKenzie Ranch is known for flowing singletrack\, rolling terrain\, gradual climbs\, fast descents and sweeping turns. The XCC short-track race uses a compact 2.1-mile combination of Lozen Link and Lozen Loop\, creating an even faster style of racing. \nThis is also a great race for spectators. Unlike many mountain bike races where riders disappear into the mountains for long stretches\, the compact\, looping nature of McKenzie Ranch gives spectators opportunities to see racers multiple times. Come out\, walk around\, find a good viewing spot\, cheer loudly and bring a cowbell. The short-track racing should be especially fun to watch\, with riders coming through frequently and positions changing quickly. \nWhether you’re racing for an Arizona championship or just coming out to watch\, the Sonoran Shred is a chance to experience competitive mountain biking in a venue built specifically for it\, surrounded by the open desert and mountain views that make riding in Southern Arizona special. \nxc \n

SUMMARY:Volunteering at the Tucson Bicycle Classic
DESCRIPTION:Volunteering at the Race\n\nVolunteers are what makes events happen…  \nIn the words of David Burke “I’m either racing or volunteering”  Be like David. \nPutting on something like the Tucson Bicycle Classic requires many volunteers that are excited to help the community and fellow racers. A stage race like the TBC simply cannot happen without your help. Thank you for volunteering. \nClick below to go to the Volunteer sign-up website. \n\nRACE VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP

SUMMARY:Tucson Bicycle Classic
DESCRIPTION:The Tucson Bicycle Classic brings four days of road racing to four very different parts of the Tucson region\, combining serious competition with some of the roads and scenery that have made Southern Arizona a winter cycling destination. \nThe racing begins Thursday with the Marana Time Trial\, a fast 4.5-mile prologue on the Chuck Huckelberry Loop where every rider races Eddie Merckx style and the first leaders of the General Classification are determined. \nFriday brings the Sahuarita Road Race\, racing in the reverse direction of Tucson’s legendary Shootout route. The 20.5-mile circuit around the Helmet Peak area combines climbing\, rollers\, fast descents and wide-open desert roads where tactics and teamwork come into play. \nOn Saturday\, racing moves into the heart of Tucson for the Rio Nuevo Tucson Criterium. The 0.73-mile course alongside historic Barrio Viejo features tight corners and a 180-degree turnaround\, with cafés\, restaurants and breweries nearby. With racing throughout the day\, this may be the best stage for spectators who want to experience the speed and excitement of bike racing up close. \nThe weekend finishes Sunday with the Oro Valley Circuit Race\, a fast and tactical 2.8-mile course featuring rolling terrain and a punchy uphill finish on Musette Drive. Spectator areas and a finish-line beer garden make the finale as much fun to watch as it is difficult to race. \nFour days. Four communities. Four completely different courses. Whether you’re racing for the GC or simply want to see what competitive road cycling looks like from a few feet away\, the Tucson Bicycle Classic is a great showcase of why Tucson has become one of America’s great cycling communities. \nFebruary 18–21\, 2027 | Tucson\, Marana\, Sahuarita & Oro Valley
