MCF Road Calendar
A Need For Speed
Another successful year of road racing is in the books! We held an 8-race series at two new venues, a Minnesota Road Race Championship (with a new venue!), as well as the return of MN road staples like Ken Woods Memorial Road Race, the beginner-friendly Joy Memorial Criterium, and the resurrection of the state Time Trial Championship!
Keep your eyes on this site for news on our plans for 2026!

Minnesota State Time Trial Championship
A time trial is simple in design: just you versus the clock. Come test yourself against the best in the state… or set a PR on the course… either way, this is your chance to try the most pure discipline in cycling!
The course is a standard 20km or 40km out-and-back course. The route has minimal turns, one turnaround point, and one climb to test your meddle. This event is an ideal place for beginner racers to test their strength without having to worry about the dynamics of riding with a group.
More info is available here on the race flyer.
Race registration is by pre-registration ONLY (no day-of registration). Register here on BikeReg.
