The race is expected follow directly after the early Saturday start of the Challenge Ride, where non-competitive riders have a three-hour window to complete up to five laps of the same circuit.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Then criterium events would be held on the same 1.4km course situated in front of the US Capitol building and the National Mall, showcasing the elite women as the final race in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Clarendon Cup events, now in a 29th year, will return to nearby Arlington, Virginia on Sunday.

The race is expected follow directly after the early Saturday start of the Challenge Ride, where non-competitive riders have a three-hour window to complete up to five laps of the same circuit.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Then criterium events would be held on the same 1.4km course situated in front of the US Capitol building and the National Mall, showcasing the elite women as the final race in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Clarendon Cup events, now in a 29th year, will return to nearby Arlington, Virginia on Sunday.
