The Charlottesville Racing Club organizes several races each year in a number of disciplines.
CRC was proud to host the Charlottesville Criterium and Bike Fest in 2022 and 2023. We hope this event will return in the future.

Beaver Blitz is a multi-lap mountain bike race hosted at Teventrails, the private trail system maintained by Shawn Tevendale, the owner of Blue Ridge Cyclery (a CRC sponsor) in Charlottesville.
The Jim Beazell Wintergreen Ascent is a USAC-sanctioned time trial up Wintergreen, one of the most difficult climbs in Virginia. We have not run this race since 2019, but are looking forward to bringing it back in 2023 in collaboration with our partner, Wintergreen Resort. It is usually in April or May.
Paranormal is CRC's annual Halloween-themed, nighttime mountain bike race hosted at Teventrails every October. It made its triumphant return in 2021. Racers who do not wear a costume will receive a time penalty! Some say the afterparty is the main event, with a bonfire and free beer from our sponsor, Rockfish Brewing Co.
Castle Hill CX is a Cyclocross hosted by sponsor Castle Hill Cidery each November.
CRC participates in races in a wide variety of disciplines. Many of these events can be found on Bikereg.com, although some disciplines have specific calendars maintained by other regional cycling organizations.
