Challenge Ride

The 2024 Armed Forces Cycling Classic Challenge Ride, brought to you by The Boeing Company, is an amateur ride, open to cyclists of all abilities. The ride will take place on Saturday, June 4th on a course closed to traffic, starting and finishing in Crystal City, traveling past the Pentagon, up to Rosslyn, and back. The official start is at 7:00 am and all riders must be off the course by 10:00 am. Riders can participate as a General Registrant or as a member of a Corporate Challenge Team.
