The 2026 North Shore Century is in the books. Thank you to every rider, volunteer, and sponsor who made September 20 such a great day on the North Shore. We're already looking forward to doing it all again.
That's a Wrap
From the 100-mile trek to Wisconsin to the 25-mile spin through the North Shore, the 2026 North Shore Century took a lot of people to pull off.
Thank you for riding with us, whichever distance you chose. We hope you enjoyed the lakefront views, the rest stops, and the miles with friends old and new.
The NSC is run entirely by volunteer members of the Evanston Bicycle Club. Thank you to everyone who marked routes, staffed check-in and rest stops, drove SAG, and cleaned up.
Thank you to the local bike shop mechanics and SAG drivers who kept riders rolling and made sure everyone got home safely.
Thank you to Wilmette and every community along the route for welcoming thousands of cyclists onto your streets and into your parks.
Looking Ahead
The 42nd annual North Shore Century returns in September 2027. Here's how to make sure you don't miss it.
