The Arlington 500 is Coming - Sunday May 31
Get ready to ride one of the most beloved cycling events in the region—the Arlington 500! This recreational ride winds through some of the most scenic roads in Lake County, offering a perfect blend of challenge, beauty, and community.
For 2026, we’re turning things up a notch. A brand-new 39-mile loop with a mid-point rest stop is being added for riders tackling the 59-, 83-, and 100-mile distances. This means:
- Less overlap between routes
- More open road to enjoy
- And new terrain stretching into northwest Lake and McHenry Counties, even venturing west of the Fox River
- And the food, yes the food
At the heart of it all, Lake Zurich High School remains your central hub—serving as the start, finish, registration site, parking area, and a key rest stop connecting all four loops.
