The Gateway Cup is a USA Cycling and UCI Sanctioned Professional Cycling Event that takes place in four awesome neighborhoods over four days.

Within each of these host communities, the race course is a defined one mile lap and the race format is known as a “criterium.” This Americanized style of racing appeals to both athletes and spectators alike as the peloton, or pack of cyclists, pass by every few minutes at impressive speeds holding lines only inches apart from one another. Spectators can watch the race develop lap after lap and hear commentators announce race strategy, allowing more of an understanding and involvement in the excitement. Returning for 2018-  all four days of the Gateway Cup are included on the USA Cycling Pro Road Tour and are sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

There are 9 races each day based on ability, ranging from newbies to pros. Each day begins with the amateur races and builds up to the featured events, the men’s and women’s professional races. In these races, 150 of the top national and international cyclists will hurl themselves through corners averaging 30 mph towards a typically thrilling sprint finish. Guaranteed inspiration.
