TownBank Virtual Cap2Cap
To make sure Cap2Cap is accessible to as many riders as possible, there will again be a virtual option available for 2024. Virtual riders will select a distance goal during registration and will be able to ride and submit their results between May 1st and May 31st. While we recommend planning your ride on the Virginia Capital Trail, it is not required.
Virtual participants will receive the official Cap2Cap t-shirt, drawstring bag, and water bottle in early June in the mail, along with any store purchases made in association with registration (registration includes the cost of shipping). Virtual participants will not have a bib, food, or beverage tickets, or participate in the in-person event.
