USA Cycling has announced the dates and locations of multiple national championships that will take place in 2023.
USAT’s Pro Road Nationals will return to Knoxville, TN, on June 22-25 for the final year of a 7-year agreement.
“It has been an incredible achievement and honour to host USA Cycling since 2017,” said Kim Bumpas, President of Visit Knoxville. “This will be the last year of our current agreement, and we will warmly welcome the riders back in the future. We’ve become very close with USA Cycling, and are looking forward to seeing 2023’s exciting event here in Knoxville.”
The Collegiate Road Nationals will head to Albuquerque, NM in May. Tania Armenta, President & CEO of Visit Albuquerque, said “Albuquerque was proud to host successful 2021 and 2022 USA Cycling Masters Road events and the city is honoured to be selected for the 2023 and 2024 Collegiate Road National Championships.
“We can’t wait to welcome back USA Cycling athletes, along with their friends and families, and showcase the Southwestern hospitality for which we are known.”
Heading into the summer, Visit Virginia’s Blue Ridge will host the Amateur Road Nationals in Roanoke, VA, on June 13-17 where athletes will be tested on the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
