  Capital City Century

  Distance: 24.2 km

  Ride the legacy. Celebrate the journey. Right here in Springfield.

  54 Years of Tradition. 100 Years of an American Icon.

  In 2026, the Capital City Century proudly celebrates its 54th year — alongside the 100th anniversary of historic Route 66.

  Both are woven into the fabric of Springfield.

  Hosted by the Springfield Bicycle Club, the CCC has become a cycling tradition that spans generations — families, seasoned riders, first-time cyclists, and volunteers who return year after year. Much like Route 66 itself, the CCC represents movement, connection, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the open road.

  All routes begin and end at the Sherman Athletic Club, where riders roll out onto the Heritage Route 66 Multiuse Trail before heading into the scenic countryside on low-trafficked roads. It’s more than a ride — it’s a journey through the heart of Springfield’s history.

  Ride Distances

  • 100-Mile Century

  • 66-Mile Route (a metric century + 3 miles in honor of Route 66)

  • 40-Mile Route

  • 20-Mile Route

  Each route features a fully stocked rest stop with drinks and snacks to keep riders fueled and supported.

  The Capital City Century is not a race — it’s a celebration of endurance and community. All riders receive a timing chip to track their personal accomplishment, but the real reward is crossing the finish line together.

  Mechanical support will be available at the Sherman Athletic Club, and SAG drivers will be on route throughout the day to assist riders as needed — because at the CCC, no one rides alone.

  After the ride, gather with fellow cyclists for a post-ride meal and one beverage of your choice (soda, beer, or wine) as we celebrate a tradition that continues to define our community.

  For more than five decades, the CCC has brought riders together. For a full century, Route 66 has brought travelers through Springfield.

  Looking to Volunteer?

  There are many opportunities to volunteer at the Capital City Century. Volunteers receive a t-shirt and a comped entry into the 2027 Capital City Century.

  Site M: Redacted

  Cass County, Illinois, 62627, United States

  Distance: 36 km

  Site M: Redacted is the Springfield area's first foray into a proper gravel race. Hosted at the Jim Edgar Panther Creek state conservation area, we have a beautiful route for you spanning rolling meadows, farmland, and forest preserves. The route is still being finalized, but expect approximately 55 miles of something near a 50/50 pavement/gravel mix and around 2200 feet of elevation. The longest climbs will be on pavement, with 1/2-3/4 mile stretches of 4-6% average gradient. On the gravel side, there are a number of short, steep, punchy climbs. Most of these are under 1/4 mile, but many hit double digit grades and some even approach 20%. You can expect to see the entire range of not-so-paved roads with everything from fast white limestone to deep chunky gravel to grass trails and B roads. We will be providing SAG support, refreshments at the staging area, an aid station at mile 30 with the option for drop-bags, and a post-ride meal to participants who register by September 30. Route

  marking is TBD, depending on regulations within the conservation area. This is a rain or shine event, and will only be cancelled in event of extreme weather (e.g., tornadoes, flash floods).

  A prize purse will be split between podium of all four categories--50% of the total purse split between our first place finishers, 30% to second places, 20% to third places. We're guaranteeing a minimum reward structure of $150/$90/$60 payout on each podium, and that value will increase based on sponsorships and registration. We're not looking to make any money here, any sponsorships and registration fees above our costs go directly to prize support.

  This event is sharing a date and venue with the Illinois Senior Games, allowing us to make the most of our logistics for both events.
