State Road Race Championships- Nogales Bicycle Classic 2026

The Nogales Bicycle Classic is a road race in Nogales, Arizona, starting at 155 N. Morley Avenue and is part of the State Road Race Championships. It takes place in October and uses age and ability categories across multiple distances, grouping riders by experience and race length. The event is permitted by USA Cycling, allowing results to count toward upgrade points for racers advancing in the USAC category system. The race setup is practical, resembling a championship road day: aid stations are available, and riders can have teammates or friends hand up bottles. A follow vehicle accompanies each distance wave, not each individual start, so riders must manage basic issues like flats independently. Winners earn the right to purchase a state champion jersey. The event is organized by Circles of Peace.
