SUMMARY:Tour of Newport News (Newport News)
DESCRIPTION:The Tour of Newport News is a 3 day\, 5 race event that takes place in Newport News\, Virginia. What began in 2022 as a single criterium has since expanded to include 4 unique events that together make up the omnium. With the races taking place all throughout Newport News\, both participants and spectators are treated to a tour of this historically important city. The 2026 edition will begin on Friday\, April 10th with a new event at Todd Stadium and will end on Sunday\, April 12th with a participant favorite at Fort Eustis. In only 3 short years the event has become the most popular bicycle race in the Mid-Atlantic and one of the biggest on the East Coast. \n4/10: Back for it’s second year is the Todd Stadium Points Race to kick off the event. While a points race is traditionally a track specific event\, we are excited to offer an adapted version on the famed loop at Todd Stadium. Racers will sprint every 5 laps to earn points\, with the overall winner being the rider who accumulates the most points during the 30-50 minute long races. Racing starts at 8 AM and runs until 4:30 PM. \n4/10: New for 2026\, and perhaps the first event of its kind anywhere is the City Center Hill Climb p/b Old Dominion Metals & Recycling. Riders will race one at a time up an 8-story parking garage in central Newport News. TT style format\, riders will start at 20 second intervals and complete the climb in times between 1:30-2:00 minutes. Racing Starts at 6:30 PM and runs until around 9:30 PM. This is a can’t miss spectating event! \n4/11: Returning for 2026 is the short but intense race of truth\, the Crawford Road Time Trial. Don’t let the 5 mile distance fool you\, the rolling terrain and often windy conditions make it a true test of both physical fitness and mental fortitude. With Merckx equipment rules in affect its as pure as bicycle racing gets. The first rider leaves at 7:30 AM with riders starting 20 seconds apart\, Expect the final rider to finish around 10:30 AM \n4/11: The event that started it all\, the notoriously fast and technical Newport News Twilight Criterium. Featuring 8 turns in 1 km\, the figure eight shaped course strings fields out quick and exposes riders that lack the confidence in their handling skills. It begins a couple hours after the completion of the TT at 12:15 PM with the Kid’s Fun Race and ends under the lights with the Men’s Elite Field at 8 PM. The most spectator friendly event of the weekend! \n4/12: \nWhat is maybe the only remaining bicycle race on an active duty military base\, the Fort Eustis Circuit Race is a unique experience with a loop of 5 km of closed roads against a backdrop of both decommissioned military vehicles and helicopters and still active ones. No center line rule keeps racing dynamic and exciting. Racing commences at 8 AM and ends at 3 PM\, giving riders plenty of time to get home after a fun weekend of racing.

SUMMARY:MacArthur's Relief at 75 at MacArthur Memorial (Norfolk)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free symposium as we explore the legacy of civil-military affairs 75 years after General MacArthur’s relief of duty.\nSeventy-five years ago\, on April 11\, 1951\, President Harry S. Truman relieved General Douglas MacArthur of his commands during the Korean War. The celebrated World War II hero had publicly disagreed with administration policy by advocating escalation against China and challenging efforts to limit the conflict.\nDebates persist over the merits of Truman’s and MacArthur’s opposing views of the proper way to conduct the war\, but Truman’s decision firmly upheld the constitutional principle of civilian control of the military: elected leaders\, not generals\, set national policy—even amid wartime pressures and with a hugely popular commander. Controversial then\, the relief’s legacy endures\, informing ongoing discussions on character\, conscience\, and the balance between military and civilian authority.\nTo mark the 75th anniversary\, the MacArthur Memorial in partnership with the Truman Library is hosting a half-day symposium that will examine the relief from both Truman’s and MacArthur’s perspectives\, situate it in the context of broader American military history\, and explore its ongoing legacy. Speakers include Mark Adams (Director\, Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum)\, Dr. Tim Orr (Associate Professor of Military History\, Old Dominion University)\, and Jim Zobel (Archivist\, MacArthur Memorial).\nThis event will be held in person at the MacArthur Memorial in Norfolk\, VA.
