CBR monitors road races, criteriums and some cyclocross. For time trials, visit the ABR calendar and Illinois Cycling Association. For the track, see the Northbrook Velodrome and the Washington Park Velodrome in Kenosha, Wis. More complete cyclocross dates will be found at Chicago Cyclocross Cup, Mad Cross and the Wisconsin Cycling Association.

New racers are allowed and encouraged to race 4/5 events as soon as they are comfortable. Many beginners, however, may want to start with races with beginners-only fields, typically designated either Category 5 or citizens. Those races are indicated.

If there's a sanctioned, mass-start road race within 4 hours of Chicago missing from this list, please e-mail us.
