Are you ready for the 2026 Kentucky Cycling Challenge? The Challenge is ready for you!

Registration is now open for the 2026 Kentucky Cycling Challenge, presented by Bike Walk Kentucky and participating rides across the state. Registration is free, but is limited to the first 500 participants or until May 24, whichever comes first.

The Kentucky Cycling Challenge provides an opportunity for registered cyclists to complete a series of five century or metric century rides and earn rewards along the way. Cyclists who complete all five rides will receive a free Kentucky Cycling Challenge kit, including a jersey and matching bibs or shorts. The challenge will also provide a free jersey to cyclists who complete at least 250 miles (400 kilometers) and participate in at least four of the five rides, as well as cyclists who attend all five rides, regardless of total miles ridden. Cyclists who earn a jersey may also order matching bibs or shorts at cost. Cyclists who complete at least 180 miles (300 kilometers) but participate in only three of the five rides will be offered the opportunity to purchase the Cycling Challenge jersey at the cost of the jersey plus shipping.

• The Redbud Ride (April 18) in London, Kentucky

• The Horsey Hundred (May 22 to May 24) in Georgetown, Kentucky
