The Air Force Association Cycling Classic takes place June 13-14 in Arlington, Va. The two-day event will include cycling opportunities for participants of all abilities, including the Professional and Amateur races, a kids’ race, and a cycling event exclusively for service members.

Spectators may attend free of charge. The event will also stream live from www.cyclingclassic.org. Those interesting in donating to the AFA Wounded Airman Program can do so here.
