Copperopolis, CA—Later this month, a bicycle race in the Copperopolis area of Calaveras County will disrupt traffic.
The Annual Copper Valley Circuit Race is being held on Sunday, February 22, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. The race is along Little John Road, beginning at the Copperopolis Town Square off Highway 4 and stretching from Reeds Turnpike to half a mile north of Quiver Road, which is near Copper Cove Drive.
