KMC Sage City Classic

The KMC Sage City Classic is a cycling road race held in Monticello, Illinois, featuring a scenic course through Piatt County. The event is designed to accommodate both competitive and recreational riders, offering smooth pavement, open terrain, and an enjoyable road racing experience in central Illinois.

This race will be held on Saturday, August 22 with two distance options. The 50K is intended to be a more laid-back race, ideal for riders newer to road racing or those looking for a shorter, less intense event. The 100K is a more competitive race that emphasizes endurance, pack riding, and race strategy. Riders registering for the 100K should be able to maintain a minimum average speed of 15 mph; participants who are unsure they can meet this pace are encouraged to select the 50K. 

The race will originate and conclude at Pepsin Hill (behind Kelly's Accounting Service). Follow signage.

Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers in both races, with additional 1st place age group awards in the 100K.

1st place 100K Age Group award categories: 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+

Participants who register by July 17 will receive a free Sage City Classic race shirt with their entry.

The KMC Sage City Classic is focused on providing a safe, well-organized event and a quality road racing experience for riders of all levels.
