The internet has made many things possible. Still, if you've been looking for one place that lists all of the Arizona cycling races in 2025, you may have been frustrated - until now.

Tired of trawling, we put some tech to work and let it scour the internet on our behalf while we enjoyed a double espresso at the Regroup café  (other beverages are available). In short order, the tech returned with a list of all the bike races in Arizona this year, from road to gravel to bikepacking, mountain bike and more.

 

If you’re the organizer of one of these events and spot an error, the fault is ours – drop us a line and we can edit it. Snafus aside, we hope this page can be a handy resource for those about to race.
