About This Event

The Canyon Lake Classic is a high-speed, closed-circuit road race that serves as the official kickoff to the 2026 Central Texas road racing season. The event is a revival of a popular course from the historic Tour of New Braunfels. The race is designed to test riders' early-season fitness before moving on to major events like Lago Vista and Pace Bend. Held entirely within Canyon Park, the race is notable for its picturesque views and a "perfect" uphill finish that overlooks the water. It is a spectator-friendly event, featuring live music, food trucks, and a festive atmosphere.

Course Description

The course is a 1.7-mile fully closed circuit. Because the loop is short and entirely paved, it functions similarly to a criterium but with the added challenge of a significant elevation change at the end of every lap.
