Races + Revelry. All Underground. The iconic DMV cycling event returns to National Landing on February 21, 2026! Two levels of a parking garage transform into an underground race course, thrilling spectators and challenging cyclists with twists and turns.
With 10 races throughout the day – from the competitive Championship, Fixed Gear, and Relay races to the wacky Anything Goes Finale (think costumes and carts!), there’s something for everyone and all skill levels.
Prefer to cheer on the racers? Spectators can experience a pop-up bar, local eats, on-site activities, and cowbells galore at “one of the coolest events on two wheels in the D.C. Area (WTOP).” Enjoy award-winning local sips from Port City Brewing Company and Best Day Brewing, and fuel up with sweet and savory options from Good Company Doughnuts & Cafe and Acme Pies. Challenge your friends to 1v1 stationary bike battles with Gold Sprints, customize your own trucker hat with personalized patches, and more.
At 6:20 p.m., the event culminates in the highly anticipated Anything Goes Finale, a (non-competitive) parade of creativity. Spectators gather to watch participants showcase their wild, imaginative, non-motorized vehicles on the course. From hilariously unconventional designs and costumes to unexpected engineering marvels, the Anything Goes Finale brings the community together for a joyous and unpredictable conclusion to the day.
Free for spectators: Learn more and RSVP.
