Course Description: Our championship course is a classic on the regional road racing calendar, featuring an eleven-mile loop with two major climbs: a 1.5 mile climb starting gently and then ramping up; and 3/4 mile climb to the finish line, which is 8.3 miles from the start. Page Valley is the historic and scenic section of the Shenandoah Valley which lies in between Massanutten and the Blue Ridge. A rider is eligible to win either the MABRA or VACA championship if USAC records as of the race date show that the rider’s racing club, as printed on his or her license, is a member of MABRA or VACA, or if the address on their USAC license is within the MABRA or VACA geographic boundaries (MABRA Championship Rules are located at: http://www.mabra.org/championship-race--jersey-rules.html, and VACA categories are listed at: http://www.vacycling.org/2017/bar_rules.html). Riders must also meet USAC eligibility requirements, which include: Championships are open only to riders who hold USA Cycling rider annual licenses. One day-license holders are not eligible. Further, championship medals will be awarded only to riders who are eligible, although the race event may include riders who are ineligible for the championship event. Category
