Date: Sunday, March 22, 2026 (Beginning of a seven day event)
Location: Fredericksburg, Texas (Routes exploring seven counties south of the Colorado River)
Event Information
Texas Hell Week has been a cornerstone of the early season cycling calendar since 1991, offering some of the finest spring riding opportunities in the United States. Hosted in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, this event allows participants to explore nearly 1,000 miles of paved rural roads characterized by minimal traffic and expansive views. From late March through mid April, the region is famous for its vibrant wildflower blooms, providing a truly unforgettable backdrop for every mile pedaled.
This unique event is structured as a seven day experience, offering three distinct ride options every single day. The diversity of the routes ensures that every participant can find a challenge suited to their preferences. Beyond the physical activity, Texas Hell Week fosters a strong sense of community. Each day concludes with a social happy hour, and three of the days include professional informational seminars designed to help athletes improve their technique and training knowledge.
