Organized by Gran Fondo National Series for the fifth year, the 2025 USA Cycling Gran Fondo National Championships will take place in Frederick, Maryland 14 September.

“A record number of cyclists qualified for and competed at Gran Fondo National Championships in 2024, and we are looking to continue building on that momentum for 2025,” Race Director Reuben Kline announced.

A USA Cycling Gran Fondo National Championship title, complete with a stars and stripes national championship jersey and medal, will be awarded to the male and female winners in the following age categories: 14-16, 17-18, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80+.

Racing will take place on several short timed segments, rather than over the entire 100-mile gran fondo route, with championship titles awarded to riders in each category with the lowest total segment time.

Riders must qualify to compete in the national championships based on results at Gran Fondo National Series events across the nation. The most popular way to qualify is by finishing in the top 25% of your age/gender category, though other options are available.
