Starting in January with the esports championships on Zwift, USA Cycling has announced its 2024 lineup of national championship events that will be held for all disciplines and in nine different states.

The full lineup includes 18 different championships events across the road, mountain track, cyclocross, gravel, BMX and esports cycling disciplines as well as the junior, collegiate, elite, para and masters levels.

Also new for 2024 is the elimination of a Cat 1 Men’s Road Race, Criterium and Time Trial field at the amateur championships. USA Cycling says that historically, many Cat 1 racers have competed at both the Amateur Road and Pro Road Nationals, and thus the category has been done away with. However, Cat 1 racers will still be eligible to compete in Pro Road as part of a Domestic Elite Team or through a petition process.

The season’s first opportunity to win a coveted stars-and-stripes jersey comes as early as January 6, at the national esports championship held on the Zwift platform. BMX competitions take place in March and the road championships for collegiate, pro and elite racers will be held in May. The summer is reserved for mountain bike and track events as well as Masters and Junior road cycling. Lauren Stephens and Keegan Swenson will get a chance to defend their gravel titles in September and the season ends with the national cyclocross championships in December.

Cycling Weekly's North American Editor, Anne-Marije Rook is old school. She holds a degree in journalism and started out as a newspaper reporter — in print! She can even be seen bringing a pen and notepad to the press conference.

Originally from The Netherlands, she grew up a bike commuter and didn't find bike racing until her early twenties when living in Seattle, Washington. Strengthened by the many miles spent darting around Seattle's hilly streets on a steel single speed, Rook's progression in the sport was a quick one. As she competed at the elite level, her journalism career followed, and soon she became a full-time cycling journalist. She's now been a cycling journalist for 11 years.
