Thes action-packed event is set amid the charming shops, galleries and restaurants of historic West Chester and is sponsored by Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant.
The race includes several amateur events, both before and after the pro-sanctioned race, including recreational bike tours of the beautiful area.

There are four races total: Amateur Men's, Kids Race, Elite Women's and Pro Men's. The Pro Men's bracket will be the final race and starts at 7:45 p.m. Racing will take place under the lights of the streets of downtown West Chester.
