The crown jewel of North American cycling is the Philadelphia International Championship, now celebrating its 26th year. More than 160 of the world’s top male professional cyclists descend upon the city of Philadelphia to race in the longest running and only UCI Hors Category single-day cycling road race in the United States. Cyclists will complete ten laps of a 14.4-mile circuit over the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Kelly Drive and Manayunk Wall. They will finish with three laps of Lemon Hill and Logan’s Circle, in one of the biggest special sporting events in the United States.
Over 100 professional, international women cyclists will compete in the 14th annual Liberty Classic. The 57.6-mile race consists of four laps of the 14.4-mile circuit through Philadelphia with 4 steep climbs up the grueling Manayunk Wall. The Liberty Classic is held during the men’s International Championship on the same course.
