🚲 Country gravel in the heart of Iowa

Kalona, Iowa | May 10, 2026 | Sign up Movemint

In the quiet folds of Washington County, where roads unspool past horse-drawn buggies and farmland stretches to every horizon, the Kalona Horseshoe offers something the big-ticket events rarely do: genuine stillness. The course is rolling and relentless, the community warm, and the pie at the finish, served at the historic Kalona Historical Village, is not optional.

🚲 Sonoma County’s procession of legendary climbs

Monte Rio, California | March 28, 2026 | Sign up on Movemint

The Grasshopper Adventure Series has assembled a greatest hit loop through Sonoma County’s most mythologized roads: Joy, Coleman Valley, Meyers Grade, Fort Ross, Kruse Ranch, and King Ridge. A procession of climbs and coastal views that constitutes, by most accounts, the finest cycling route in Northern California.

🚲 Twenty-five years of desert roads done right

Summerlin, Nevada | April 18, 2026 | Sign up on Movemint

A quarter century of racing through the Spring Mountains, and the Tour de Summerlin has earned its place on the Southwest’s cycling calendar. The roads are fast, the desert landscape is cinematic, and the 80-mile route demands the kind of fitness that Las Vegas’s glittering reputation tends to obscure.

🚲 The grassroots gravel event that grew into a pilgrimage

Lincoln, Nebraska | August 19–23, 2026 | Sign up on Movemint

Seventeen years in and the Lauf Gravel Worlds has become something rare: a genuinely grassroots event that got big without losing itself. A $150K prize purse, distances from 35 to 300 miles, and a week-long festival in the Nebraska sandhills that somehow feels like a family reunion. The Long Voyage is the stuff of legend. The rest of it isn’t far behind.

👟 Running the Charles River for something bigger

Boston, Massachusetts | March 29, 2026 | Sign up on Movemint

Late March, the Charles River wide and grey, the city still waking up to spring, there are few better places to run, and fewer still that give the miles this kind of meaning. The Boston Road Runner’s Women’s 10 Miler and 5k raises money for local women’s nonprofits, adding purpose to every step. Choose your distance and run for something larger than yourself.

👟 One mile through the soul of Los Angeles

Los Angeles, California | April 4, 2026 | Sign up Movemint

One mile down one of Los Angeles’s most storied boulevards, from Nipsey Hussle Square to the heart of Leimert Park Village, past murals that carry a neighborhood’s full history. The Crenshaw Mile is USATF-certified and community-powered, and it carries a weight that most races spend years trying to earn. This one arrived with it.

👟 A race through the heart of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park

San Francisco, California | April 19, 2026 | Sign up on Movemint

Golden Gate Park on a spring morning is its own argument for living in this city. The JAMBAR Impala Stampede 5K makes the most of it, a USATF-sanctioned race around Blue Heron Lake that somehow manages to be both competitive and deeply communal. Prize money, commemorative socks, a Kids’ Mile. San Francisco running, at its best.

From the country roads of Iowa to the streets of Los Angeles, these seven events span terrain, discipline, and distance, but share the same essential quality: they are worth showing up for. Whether you’re clipping in or lacing up, racing for a podium or riding for the joy of it, each one offers something your 2026 race calendar needs.
