The official race route for the 2025 Maryland Cycling Classic was released this week during a press conference in downtown Baltimore attended by many VIPs including Mayor Brandon M. Scott, key supporters, sponsors, and native Maryland cyclists Maize Wimbush and Scott McGill.

The 2022 and 2023 editions of the race were raced on predominantly rolling courses in rural Baltimore County and concluded with three laps around a 12km urban circuit of downtown Baltimore, but the 2025 edition introduces exciting new features and additions.

The Maryland Cycling Classic is currently the only UCI Pro Series one-day race in the United States. The 2022 edition was won by Sep Vanmarcke of Belgium in a thrilling sprint finish, while Mattias Skjelmose of Denmark claimed victory in 2023 with a dominant solo win.

The race was canceled in March 2024 due to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. However, the vision, passion, patience, and determination of the Sport and Entertainment Corporation of Maryland, civic leaders of Maryland and Baltimore, Medalist Sports, KOM Sports Marketing, and key sponsors have made another great event possible in 2025.

The most significant addition to the 2025 edition of the Maryland Cycling Classic is the inclusion of a women’s event for the first time. The women’s race will start at 8:30 AM on September 6th and will cover four laps of the 17.9-mile (28.5 km) circuit, totaling 71.6 miles (115.2 km), with an estimated finish time of 11:45 AM. The men’s race will begin at 12:30 PM FINISH READING HERE
