The start/finish will both be at the top of the Blenheim Hill – be ready for exciting, leg burning finishes!

The UVA Cycling Club’s Cavalier Crit will take place next to Scott Stadium. Both fast and technical, this ¾ of a mile loop should make for some awesome racing. The course winds through the parking lots surrounding Scott Stadium and features a short, punchy 15-second climb each lap.

The Mid-Atlantic’s most iconic USA Cycling road race—Jefferson Cup has been a proving ground for the nation’s top cyclists and a launching point for rising stars since 1991. Come join in this rich tradition!
