Discipline Guide

Bicycle racing covers road, criterium, gravel and time-trial formats, and The Kinetic Chronicle catalogs events from weekly local criteriums to multi-day stage races and iconic gravel epics. Typical distances range from 20-minute criteriums held on a closed loop, 40 km time trials, 60-100 mile road races and 100-200 mile gravel fixtures. The directory includes USA Cycling-sanctioned road races, downtown criterium series, grassroots gravel events and charity rides that welcome all levels. Notable events span classic regional road races, national-caliber criteriums, marquee gravel races and beginner-friendly circuit races. Use the filters below to narrow by state, date or distance and register directly with the promoter.

Do I need a license to enter a bike race?

USA Cycling-sanctioned events require either an annual USAC license or a one-day license purchased at registration. Grassroots and gravel events often run unsanctioned and require no license, so check the race listing before signing up.

What is a criterium?

A criterium (or 'crit') is a short, fast bike race held on a closed loop of city streets, usually 0.5 to 1 mile long. Riders complete a set time plus a set number of laps, with primes (intermediate sprints) and a mass finish. Crits are spectator-friendly and a common entry point into bike racing.

What bike do I need for a gravel race?

A gravel bike — a drop-bar bike with wider tire clearance (35-45 mm) and lower gearing — is the standard tool. Mountain bikes are usually allowed and often competitive on rough courses. Road bikes work on smooth gravel but struggle on loose or chunky sections.
