Conquer the legendary climb and claim your Virginia hill crown!

Returning after a six-year hiatus, the 2025 James Beazell Wintergreen Ascent invites cyclists to test themselves on one of Virginia's most challenging hill climbs. As part of the Virginia State Championship and organized by the Charlottesville Racing Club and Blue Ridge Cyclery, this race features a steep, sustained ascent through the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains at Wintergreen Resort in Nellysford, Virginia.

The course takes riders up a mountainous asphalt road with sustained, steep grades starting from the base elevation of Wintergreen Resort. Exact distance and elevation gain are significant but are not explicitly stated in available sources; previous editions and similar events suggest a route of approximately 5–7 miles and a challenging vertical profile.
