Course Description:  “Open up” your legs prior to Tour of Page County weekend “where the mountain roars” at the Shenandoah Valley’s own stock car race track in southern Page County!  Shenandoah Speedway is an oval-shaped 3/8 mile track with compound banking of 12, 10, 8, and 6 degrees in turns 60 feet wide, and straights with 6 degrees of banking.  This unique event combines your geared bikes with a taste of track racing.  Races begin at 2:00 PM, and each field will participate in the order below in a Points race followed by a Miss-and-Out race (see USA Cycling Rules 2M and 2E, respectively, for more details), except for the Cat 5 field, which will have a simple Scratch race instead of Miss-and-Out (USA Cycling Rule 2C).  The top three finishers in each category will receive additional points in the Tour of Page County omnium, regardless of which field the racer is entered in for the Page Valley Road Race and the Luray Criterium (for multiple finishes, only the top finish will be counted for additional points).  Further details may be found in the technical guide.

Course Description: Our course has become a yearly classic on the road racing calendar! Page Valley Road Race is an eleven-mile loop with two major climbs: a 1.5 mile climb starting gently and then ramping up; and 3/4 mile climb to the finish line, which is 8.3 miles from the start. Page Valley is the historic section of the Shenandoah Valley which lies in between Massanutten Mountain to the West and the Blue Ridge to the East. A full description of the course can be found in the technical guide.
