The Philadelphia Cycling Classic is set to return to the city on August 30, 2026, after a decade-long absence. A local blacksmith and metal artist, John Rais, has volunteered to design and donate the trophies for the various categories, including the sprinters, King of the Mountain, and the overall winner.
Trophies Forged with Care
Rais, a cyclist himself, offered his time and talent during a conversation with Carlos Rogers, one of the minds behind the return of the race. The trophies are a testament to the city’s vibrant cycling community and the enthusiasm surrounding the event’s return.
The Philadelphia Cycling Classic will be broadcasted exclusively on 6abc, both on-air and streaming. For those interested in watching the race in person, more information is available on the event’s website.
