The pandemic has made planning for this racing season complicated and uncertain. Many events listed here are postponed, canceled, or a virtual race this year. Outdoor Sports Guide shares in your disappointment and can't wait until we can safely race together again. While our calendar is accurate as of our publication date, we expect to see more adjustments. Please visit race websites for up-to-date information.
