Event Details

Get ready to start training for this year's Air Force Association Cycling Classic (AFACC), the region’s premier cycling event. Part of the USA Cycling National Criterium Calendar, AFACC features the Clarendon Cup (Saturday, June 13th), Challenge Ride (Sunday, June 14th) and Crystal City Cup (Sunday, June 14th) and Kids Races on both days. The Challenge Ride kicks off the events in Crystal City when participants compete against themselves in an effort to complete as many laps as possible within the 3.5 hour allotted timeframe on a closed and car-free 15km course. Medals are awarded for completing 6 or more laps (gold), 4-5 laps (silver), and 1-3 laps (bronze). Following the Challenge Ride, it's non-stop speed and excitement as professionally ranked Men’s and Women’s racers and teams vie for the Crystal Cup on the 1.3km Criterium course in the heart of Crystal City. Registration is open for the kids races and the Challenge Ride! Register today! The Car-Free Diet gang will be there both days, so stop by our table and get biking, walking and transit information.
