The City of Charleston is preparing to welcome the USA Cycling Pro Road National Championships presented by Spilman Thomas & Battle. To help community members, businesses, and those traveling to and from Charleston navigate daily commutes, race routes, and access to and from various events and places – including voting precincts – the City has prepared a robust day-by-day list – including access to and from interstates/US routes, race route turn by turns, road closures, parking information, and other helpful information for May 16 - 26, 2025.
This list is meant to serve as a guide and may be subject to change. Times are approximations based on race start times and the time needed to prepare for the race.

Please note that cyclists may be practicing on the route before the race starts.
If you work downtown, or must cross the race route, please allow extra time for your commute or plan to arrive to your destination before the race starts at 9 AM. If your destination is within the downtown footprint, you will likely be entering at Virginia Street or Laidley Street.
CPD officers will be stationed at intersections throughout the downtown footprint of the race to help work traffic through during safe breaks in the race. To ensure everyone's safety, please watch for their instructions.
If you need to get to a destination along Kanawha Boulevard, between Stockton Street and Hale Street, you are encouraged to use an alternate route.
