About the Event

Open your competitive season on a classic California road course at the Cantua Creek Road Race on February 14, 2026. This USA Cycling-permitted event, organized by Velo Promo, offers a challenging 78-mile route for top categories and a 52-mile option for others, all on a fast, partly rolling out-and-back stretch of historic Highway 33 near Coalinga. Feel the focused intensity of early-season racing as fields from Pro/1/2 to dedicated age-group categories test their winter fitness on good pavement under the vast Central Valley sky. The race provides a true benchmark for form, with significant prize money ($100/6 places) adding stakes to the demanding, wind-exposed course.

Experience the expert organization of a cornerstone event in the Northern California road calendar, with staggered start times ensuring smooth racing for every category from 8:00 AM onwards. The course's simplicity—a 13-mile segment raced out and back—creates a pure test of power, strategy, and endurance, ideal for shaking off the winter miles. With field limits and waitlists already active, it's clear this is a must-do race for serious amateurs and aspiring pros alike. Secure your discounted entry before the deadline to guarantee your place on the start line for a day of hard, honest racing that sets the tone for the season ahead.
