Individual Time Trial
In 2015, Elite Women, U23 Men and Junior Men & Women will compete for Individual Time Trial championships on a technical course that winds through the city of Richmond.
Racers will head west from downtown to Monument Avenue, a paver-lined, historic boulevard that's been named one of the "10 Great Streets in America." From there, the course makes a 180-degree turn at N. Davis Avenue and continues in the opposite direction. The race then cuts through the Uptown district before coming back through Virginia Commonwealth University and then crossing the James River.
After a technical turnaround, the race comes back across the James and works it's way through downtown Richmond, eventually heading up the 300-meter-long climb on Governor Street. At the top, riders will face a false flat 680 meters to the finish.
Elite Women, U23 and Junior Men will each complete two laps of the circuit and Junior Women will complete one lap.

Team Time Trial Course
The Team Time Trial was reintroduced to the Road World Championships in 2012 for Elite Men and Women and remains the only discipline contested by "trade teams" (all other events at Road Worlds are contested by national teams).
Teams will roll off from Henrico County at beautiful
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, originally the Lakeside Wheel Club, founded in 1895 as a gathering spot for turn-of-the-century cyclists. The opening kilometers race through Richmond's historic Northside neighborhoods leading into downtown.
The race re-enters the city through Shockoe Bottom, eventually making a hard right turn on Governor Street to ascend 300 meters. At the top, teams take a sharp left turn onto the false-flat finishing straight, 680 meters to the finish.

Road Race
All road races will take place on a challenging, technical and inner-city road circuit.
The peloton heads west from Downtown Richmond, working their way onto Monument Avenue, a paver-lined, historic boulevard that's been named one of the "10 Great Streets in America." Racers will take a 180-degree turn at the Jefferson Davis monument and then maneuver through the Uptown district and Virginia Commonwealth University.
Halfway through the circuit, the race heads down into Shockoe Bottom before following the canal and passing Great Shiplock Park, the start of the Virginia Capital Trail. A sharp, off-camber turn at Rocketts Landing brings the riders to the narrow, twisty, cobbled 200-meter climb up to Libby Hill Park in the historic Church Hill neighborhood.
A quick descent, followed by three hard turns leads to a 100-meter-long climb up 23rd Street. Once atop this steep cobbled hill, riders descend into Shockoe Bottom. This leads them to the final 300-meter-long climb up Governor Street. At the top, riders face a 680-meter false flat to the finish.
