The Illinois Cup showcases the best races in Illinois and surrounding areas. Throughout the spring and summer, riders will have the opportunity to compete in a season-long series to crown the best overall cyclist. Can a few top wins earn the title, or will a solid mid-pack rider who makes every race walk away the champion? In the Illinois Cup, determination and effort has as good a chance as raw ability.

2024 IL Cup Racing Schedule:

* Men’s and Women’s Masters categories will not be scored at this event

** Events are also part of a weekend Omnium

RACERS: Each Illinois Cup race awards points to the top 15 finishers.  See the official 2024 IL Cup Guide for Riders for official rules and scoring. 2023 Cup Champions earn free entries into 2024 Cup events.
