The junior women rode four laps on the road race circuit. The length of the circuit was {{convert|16.2|km|abbr=on}} and had a total elevation of {{convert|103|m|abbr=off|sp=us}}. All road races took place on a challenging, technical and inner-city road circuit. The circuit headed west from Downtown Richmond, working its way onto Monument Avenue, a paver-lined, historic boulevard that's been named one of the "10 Great Streets in America". Cyclists took a 180-degree turn at the Jefferson Davis monument and then maneuvered through the Uptown district and Virginia Commonwealth University. Halfway through the circuit, the race headed 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 brought the riders to the narrow, twisty, cobbled {{convert|200|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} climb up to Libby Hill Park in the historic Church Hill neighborhood. A quick descent, followed by three hard turns led to a {{convert|100|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} climb up 23rd Street. Once atop this steep cobbled hill, riders descended into Shockoe Bottom. This led them to the final {{convert|300|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} climb on Governor Street. At the top, the rider had to take a sharp left turn onto the false-flat finishing straight, {{convert|680|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} to the finish.

All times are in Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4).{{cite web|title=Race Schedule |url=http://richmond2015.com/about/race-schedule/ |accessdate=August 22, 2015 |url-status=usurped |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150823012955/http://richmond2015.com/about/race-schedule/ |archivedate=August 23, 2015 }}
