Six Pillars Century

The Six Pillars Century is a one-day recreational cycling event held on 9 May 2026 in Cambridge, Maryland. Riders choose from three flat, back‑road routes — 37 miles, 56 miles or a 100-mile century — that showcase the wetlands and shoreline of the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and the Chesapeake Bay. The courses favour steady, scenic riding rather than technical climbs, making the event suitable for a broad range of road cyclists. The event is presented under the Six Pillars Century / Blackwater Tour branding and is staged around Great Marsh and Gerry Boyle Park.

The day begins at Gerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh with complimentary pastries and an al fresco breakfast before riders depart, and practical information such as parking and directions is provided on the event website. Registration is handled through the event's online sign-up pages and course maps are available for each distance so participants can preview routes in advance. Support services and on-site logistics such as parking and insurance/deferral information are referenced on the organiser pages; specific pricing and detailed start-wave information are published on the registration pages.
