Prepare for an unforgettable cycling experience at the 18th Annual Six Pillars Century on Saturday, May 9, 2026, in the charming town of Cambridge, Maryland. This event offers three distinct distances: a challenging 100-mile century ride, the popular 56-mile Eagleman course, and a scenic 37-mile option, ensuring a route for every cyclist. Riders will discover Dorchester County's stunning landscapes along "pancake flat" routes that wind through the picturesque Blackwater Wildlife Refuge, past quaint townships, and alongside serene woodlands and the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 74°F and lows near 55°F, with an approximately 18% chance of precipitation.

Your journey begins and ends at Gerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh, nestled along the scenic Choptank River. Start your day with complimentary pastries before setting out, and look forward to a welcoming post-ride celebration complete with refreshments to help you recover. While the course is notably flat, be prepared for potential winds that can add to the challenge on long, straight stretches. Fully stocked aid stations, manned by friendly volunteers, are available along the course, though participants are encouraged to start with full water bottles, sports drinks, and snacks as aid stations operate on a schedule and are swept after an 8-hour cutoff for the century ride.

Beyond the scenic miles, the Six Pillars Century is a ride with a purpose, supporting youth programs that nurture tomorrow's leaders. The event embraces a relaxed "show-n-go" start format, allowing cyclists flexibility within suggested start times for each distance, with the aim for all riders to depart by 9 am.
