Cycling Events in Tennessee

Tennessee climbs hardest in the east, where the Great Smoky Mountains and the ridges around them serve up long, serious ascents and some of the most famous mountain roads in the South. It’s a rider’s idea of a good, punishing day.

Head west and it eases into rolling middle-Tennessee horse country and then flattens toward the Mississippi. Summer is humid and heavy, but the mountains stay cooler, and spring and fall in the hills are worth planning around.

How we build these listings: Event counts, dates, and fees are computed from live registration listings (synced nationally from the RunSignup/BikeSignup platform), deduplicated and filtered to cycling disciplines. We list what is verifiably open for registration — not every ride that exists. Last updated July 19, 2026.
